Screen readers are so amazing, They give me the ability to navigate a computer system completely independent from a sighted person. I often wonder what the future holds and where things will go with technology for the blind. When I lost my vision in May 2008, I knew almost nothing about the blind and visually impaired community. Now almost 8 years later, I have become more independent and well versed in accessible technology, and it is because of this technology I am able to live a more fulfilling and independent life.
