With other people accessing their computers you can exchange information and ideas with them. Yes, including on-line. Then I began networking with a lot of people both on the Internet and on Bulletin Boards. Now I'm involved with the Computer User Network and, so far, I'm the organizer of the Link Squad. I think the role is helping people understand Internet and the on-line community can benefit from one another.
Blind people can obtain information they can read.
The whole resource base is expanding. Whereas, before, information was stored in warehouses of print, information is now being transferred to an electric format. Now, instead of getting it on a floppy disk or CD-ROM, people will be able to just dial in and get it. They'll be able to read and write messages on a very focused topic with one another. Topics such as blindness, dog guide use, computer use, issues related to blind people are available to blind people.
