No technology solutions (self.Blind)
submitted by Emilyroseb
Often people rush to solve every problem with technology, I believe that sometimes that simplest and most helpful gadgets are those without technology. What are some of the most simple gadgets or objects that have helped you with your sightloss that don't involve technology?

Tape!
I use it to mark things like specific keys.

Everything is technology, or depends on it. Without technology, we wouldn't have canes, puff paint, or tape. And the cane is a type of technology; just because it doesn't take batteries, doesn't mean it isn't technology. It had to be invented and designed by someone, and even today we occasionally get improvements in cane design. The cane isn't just a "wooden stick".

You're absolutely right. I just assumed the poster meant electronics, haha

Yes I did mean electronics, sorry that was bad wording on my behalf

Well, aside from the obvious cane, puff paint has been pretty useful.
