Will blind people soon be able to use a computer screen as a whole?

I just check one of my favourite sites on news and found this amazing article. I suppose you read all through it. But for those who don't have time, here you have a short summary:

Today computer screens for blind people are expensive and only show one line at a time. The North Carolina State University is making an effort on developing a tactile display for more than one line. This means that blind people would be able to "read" images and text at the same time with more than one line. It's a "hydraulic and latching mechanism" which allows to raise dots at the hight that is needed to display the letter/word/image accurately! The good thing about it is that it is inexpensive!


And here is an image of how it works. Unfortunately the quality is not as it's best. But i think to understand the principle it's sufficient.

But the original source and probably best source to follow the project is on NCSU (North Caroline State University)

Apple iPad - you will love IT

The iPad is a tablet computer developed by Apple Inc. Announced on January 27, 2010, it is considered to be in a category between the smartphone and the laptop computer.

Similar in functionality to the smaller, less powerful iPhone or iPod touch, it runs a modified version of the same operating system (iPhone OS), with a user interface redesigned to take advantage of the larger screen.[14] The iPad has a 9.7-inch (25 cm) LED backlit multi-touch display, 16 to 64 gigabytes (GB) of flash memory, Bluetooth, and a 30-pin dock connector to sync with iTunes and connect wired accessories.[5] There are two models: one with 802.11n Wi-Fi and one with 802.11n Wi-Fi and 3G (which can connect to HSDPA cellular networks), and Assisted GPS. Both models may be purchased with three different storage capacities.

As Apple's first device to use its iBookstore service and companion iBooks ebook reading application, the iPad has been compared to Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook.
