Re: Why do Braille innovations always fail?
I don't think this has much to do with capitalism/welfare so much as it has to do with the design issues related to braille. Braille innovations fail because it's expensive to produce the technology and its hard to teach new people new braille. I used to be kind of immature on this subject but at this point I really do think that a lot of it is technological limitations.
I kind of agree with Aprone's opinion on making a new braille modern language but perhaps it should be still be based in current braille. For example, if it was more spaced out, this might reduce costs substantially. Also, perhaps if instead of being represented in pins, it's represented in elevation of a membrane substance. This would be also cheaper than producing braille dots and could still be recognized if spacing was sufficient. However, both solutions would require all braille to be replaced in the process.
I think that TTS might be a better means actually than braille in man y situations, such as signs; Braille signs are expensive to replace. If there was a chip that could have its name updated, a person with a phone or other handheld device could read them through a specialized accessibility app.
Poor louis couldn't predict this. lol
