"If more of us blind were deaf as well perspectives would change."
You may well be right.
It's like in the sighted world, very offten sighted people have a lack
of understanding of blind issues, and so the result is blind people have
to argue for their rights.
"I would find it an unpleasant experience having to read for long periods
a Braille display."
That's my point exactly.
It's very very tirng, using a braille display for along period of time.
I wonder if it compars to a sighted peroson using reading on a laptop
screen, for 3 or so hours. In that case it would be stressful on eye
sight, or back etc.
In the case of a braille display it's hard going on the hands, fingers,
arms, and back, and neck.
But when one reads a braille book, it's so much more relaxing to be able
to
lean back, on arm chair, or even relax in bed.
