‘‘

Never doubt that a small group of committed

people can change the world.

Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.

— Margaret Mead

We have the whole world in our hands.

SMS and Mail have had an

enormous growth in the last few years.

Mobile devices can do anything.

A common image for me.

What about the

Others ?

Some can only see this.

They are too heavy.

They are too big.

They are too expensive...

And definitely not mobile.

Can speech synthesis replace

visual feedback?

Early and

adventitious

Blind

Variety of

Causes

Collateral Damages

Keep it Simple.

Just shorter paths.

No memorization required.
