Embossed braille should be standard on computer keyboards.
It would raise braille literacy more than anything else I could imagine - among both the blind and the sighted. Currently braille is actually vanishing due to an increasing reliance on audiobooks and screen readers.
I think that braille has a lot of potential use among non-blind groups. As an alternative to traditional writing for dyslexics. As a way to help photosensitive people type with their eyes closed. Or simply as a means to help sighted people find things without needing the lights on all the time!
Accessibility note: It’s important that braille doesn’t vanish because it’s one of the only written language that works for blind and sight-impaired people. It is necessary for them to interact with the real world where screen readers and audio devices are not available to them, such as elevators, most major metro systems, stairwells, doorways, the bumps in the sidewalk at corners are actually developed in conjunction with audio signals so blind people don’t step off the curb into traffic before the correct time.
Digital technology has made accessibility so much easier for all of us disabled people, but we still *need* the real-world accommodations that we fought and died for
the point is that this should be the default already, but braille keyboard caps do exist for purchase and crafty people could probably make their own easily.
spy device in my pocket phone listening to conversations I have with medical professionals and immediately sharing that data with Instagram to barrage me with ads related to the thing I was talking about feels like it should be a violation of HIPPA and patient confidentiality but I dont know enough about the law to know for sure
Bedtime should work like in computer games where I lie down and click “yes” on a menu and then there’s an eight hour timeskip and I can get up again all refreshed.
