Isn't that same sort of thinking with chip and PIN!
RNIB campaigns for chip and signature, with reason that not all the blind
visually impaired are able to use chip and PIN.
However, the reasoning is surly flawed because those that claim unable to
use a key pad, how many of those are able to use a telephone?
The point being if one is able to use telephone then one must be able to
use
a key pad.
I suggest the learning of layout for chip and PIN key pad, is easy if one
already knows the layout for a telephone buttons!
Of course there will be people blind visually impaired that simply don't
want to use chip and PIN, but that's just as true for sighted people.
What do others think, is chip and PIN really and truly difficult to use
for those with little or no sight?
