It would please me greatly if you would be willing to try an experiment.
live my life for a while. Sit in a chair and tell somebody what to type
and where to move the mouse without moving your hands. keep your hands
gripping the arms or the sides of the chair. The rule is you can't touch
the keyboard you can't touch the mice, you can't point at the screen. I
suspect you would have a hard time surviving half a day with these
limitations. no embarrassment in that, most people wouldn't make it as far
as a half a day.
Just using speech? Probably more people than you might think have had such
experiences: anyone who's done software support over the telephone for a
start! And in that scenario, they are effectively 'blind' too.
