This is a commercial made for an institution called Eye Care.

I'm gonna get blind this weekend! Bring it on!

I was so drunk once, I had to hold onto the lawn to keep from falling off the Earth.

The computer itself doesn't talk, special software does--Jaws and Window-Eyes are the two major products. Any computer that has their hardware requirements will work, so you can buy a computer through any reputable dealer.

I have to do the Rhode Island National History Day thing and the theme this year is Innovation in History: Impact and Change. And I was wondering whether or not the invention of Braille would be considered an appropriate topic for the subject. I have never done History Day before, so could someone that knows what I am talking about please explain it to me and tell me if my idea would be considered "okay?"

It gave people who couldn't see the ability to read with their fingers. I'd say that would be quite the innovation.

If you can't find anything that originated in Ri, I'd say it wold be a very nice choice. I'd listen to the report. :)

Here are some sites with some information that might help you. There is a lot of emphasis at TAFE an universities on helping the visually impaired and disabled learners in general now days.
