We live in a technologically advanced society. This has led to development of several technologies for blind people and specialized devices for blind people who have retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, age-induced macular degeneration etc. However, to make the world more inclusive for them, an additional layer of accessibility has to be achieved. For instance, access to basic schooling requires screen readers, magnification software, etc.

Beyond tech, what else is needed?

🔴 **Question ❓**

Is it not strange that even after the mass proliferation of mobile phones and their cameras there has not been one credible image taken of the Himalayan Yeti? This leads me to think, what were people who reported sightings all those years ago actually witnessing?

A question for the photo enthusiasts here: What do you do with your digital pictures? Just send them off into the ether on some platform or another, or do you print them out, frame them, or regularly look at your collection on an end device of your choice? #question #photography

What these birds doing?

They were perched in the high branches of these tall trees, many of them with their wings spread wide. There is no sun for them to be getting any warmth from, just overcast daylight. There were several doing this, flying off again and then coming back to do the same again. I think they are crows or ravens, though at first I thought they might be bald eagles.

Any ideas anyone?

#Question

One time in college, a couple friends of mine got into a discussion over whether it was “take a shower” or “grab a shower.” The grab guy stated that taking something meant you … took it with you, something you don’t do with a shower. But the take guy countered asking if you “take a [crude word for Number 2]” or “grab a [crude word for Number 2]?”
As far as I know, it was never resolved. You’re thoughts?
