I am visually handicapped and could not read a slide rule. I started college in 1972 and my parents bought me the original HP 35. Without it I could not have passed my physics classes.

It was an empowering device for me and led me towards life as a computer geek.

I am very upset that manufacturers keep switching from LED displays to LCD displays. LCDs are much harder to read for most people with poor vision.

New technology used to help people with low vision, it is now increasing making our lives more difficult.
