Blindness and technology

Tim Connell on vip-l email list said

“With all the talk of Bionic eyes, gene therapy for sight restoration and all
the other high technology that regularly crosses these pages, it is worth
remembering that in developing countries only about 10% of blind children
have access to any writing tools at all or to education. In developed “rich”
countries like Australia and America the vast majority of blind children
still only have access to a writing tool from 1950 (the Perkins).

I am a very strong proponent of technology but sometimes I think we forget
which battles need fighting.”

 

What do you think? Do you support this sentiment or not?
