When My Computer Crashed

A few weeks ago the living nightmare happened!  Yes, my computer crashed and like almost everyone else, I literally went into spin cycle.  It is hard enough for the mainstream person at the best of times but when you are blind and are unable to see the screen; you have no idea what has just happened.

 

Chances are that I would guess correctly but as to exactly what has happened!  No way of telling when your screen reading software does not speak and you are unable to see the screen.  Good thing that my technician was available and when he came over to my office he told me the dreaded words:  "Your hard drive has crashed."  For me, the hardest thing to deal with is not being able to see what's on the screen and there is absolutely nothing that I can do about it because when there is a major crash then everything goes down.  How I wish that someone would come up with some type of device that we can use to read a screen.  Some type of wand that we can move across the screen to tell us what is going on.  Can't blame me for wishing can you?

 

Maybe some day this will come to pass but in the meantime if you would like to see what types of technology is out there for blind persons plus more, then you can visit www.blindbargains.com.
