As I sit writing this, my memories of a computer screen still stand out in my mind. Now that I am left with precious little sight, not nearly enough to see any type or size of screen, I use my memory to help me cope and navigate my computer screen.
I can still remember how icons are laid out, the different colors of the various menus and panels, and layouts of such things as folders in Outlook Express, lists of files on the hard drive, a Word document screen, plus so much more.
Gosh! I even still remember what the infamous blue screen looks like. Then there are the layouts of various web pages for me to remember. The colors used to depict links visited, edit boxes, and so on.
Yes, memories of a computer screen! I use my memories to help me navigate a bit more efficiently and my friends tell me that not too much has changed for layouts of a computer screen since I lost my vision. This happened in January 2004.
I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and urging you to go out there and share my thoughts with others. Visit www.nfb.org to learn more.
