Dear Andy and Booksharian Friends,
About Facebook, I'm with you, Andy. I have no idea how to navigate
it. The
bits and pieces of conversation I was able to find didn't seem worth
the
effort, nothing of substance seemed to be said, or it was beyond me
and my
computer to get to it.
With my very low partial vision, I didn't become aware of faces
until I was
a teenager. I knew they had eyes, noses and mouths, but had no idea
people
depended on looking at them and looked at them all of the time.
Finally I learned to come as close as possible to appear to make eye
contact, but it's a chore I perform for courtesy, not something that
informs
me in any way.
I hope it doesn't make me of less value as a volunteer that I hope
not to
have to go back to Bookshare's face again. And I hope these lists
remain
viable, where we can talk in complete thoughts, without the
interruptions of
constant navigational hops, pictures and graphics or whatever they
are, that
have no meaning for us, and strings of links and phrase swapping.
Always with love,
Lissi

Sorry, facebook groups and books about the ADA aren't my thing.
