Tim James discusses more pressing issues facing Alabama in 2010. This video in no way reflects our attitude toward blind people, we’re merely poking fun at absurdity of the matter.

this is a video explaining how blind people type and navigate a computer screen completely independent of vision.
blind people can type on a regular qwerty keyboard because the f and j keys have grooves on them. once the fingers are placed properly, the blind person can type the same way sighted people who look at the screen and not their fingers do, that is, by knowing where the keys are, to the point it’s second nature.
blind people can navigate a screen without vision by using a series of keystrokes, which usually means there is a button to hold down and arrow keys to nagivate up/down/left/right (this is how mac voice over works) or sometimes there are two keys that toggle back and forth among the elements on a page (which is how i think jaws works).
braille displays, which are displays that use crystals in the 8-dot braille pattern, can show where the mouse is. print braille, which is 6 dots, is three dots tall and two dots wide. computers use 8-dot braille though to allow for symbols, and international letters. the dots 7 and 8 (the two bottom dots of the 8-dot cell) are used for disambiguation. the mouse location is indicated by these dots 7-8 either blinking or vibrating.
if you have any other questions feel free to ask and i can make more videos.

This is a documentary about a boy (Ben Underwood) who has taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world. Ben Underwood is blind, but has managed to do some truly extraordinary feats.
I’ve cut this documentary up into 5 parts, and all can be found in my profile, or below.
