Who needs braille when a keyboard can do the talking?
Article Abstract:
Computer technology is proving of great assistance to blind and partially-sighted people, according to the Royal National Institute for the Blind. It is now possible to store large amounts of information on computer, with only the most relevant being printed out in braille or enlarged on the screen. Most recently, blind and partially-sighted people have been benefiting from accessing the Internet, which is particularly effective in conjunction with speech output.

Article Abstract:
Robert Wilson is regarded throughout Europe as one of the key figures in modern experimental theatre and design. His work has almost no conventional narrative, plot, tension or character, and is instead made up of dream landscapes, fragmented texts and strange timespans. His latest work is 'HG,' which has been developed over the last two years. It reflects his tendency to move into increasingly unconventional spaces.
