Remember, many blind people don't have the money to buy a braille display
because of there cost.

I have talked with someone who teaches various skills to blind people and
she said she had heard assistive technology people say "why do they want
braille displays, there's the synthetic speech and it's good enough". If
it's true that they actually say so, then that should be a sign of warning.

I also don't buy into the statements that devices which make things
easier for us are also making us dumber.
I said something similar to my husband after reading the article which
was, on the whole, pretty good. But the assertion that screen readers
and audiobooks are responsible for blind kids/adults not being able to
spell is ludicrous. It's our lousy educational system that produces
rotten spellers, not adaptive technology.
