Hi Paul
It seems that Carey was at a conference and someone made the point that
if you gave disabled people, in general, and blind people, in
particular, state of the art technology they wouldn't have any problem in
the IT labour market.
Carey's response was: "In some circumstances they would."
So surely he's correct on that point.
Regards, Derek

i too only caught part of the prog but my impression is that carey doesn't
understand the need to tailor your input to the audience! if you are working
with groups of would be employers that's different from speaking at an
individual level to a possible employer about how different tasks can be
achieved by blind people with differing skills and aptitudes like the
sighted community, we are not all the same! in that sense I thought his
input was naive and harmful giving a superficial negative impression of what
is achievable by blind or visually impaired people! just my initial thoughts
richard!

I'd welcome any views on tonight's "In Touch" - which I haven't yet
heard in its entirety, as I tuned in half way through.
