They might be good for doing work and things, but especially in a
society as technologically advanced as ours, a slate and stylus
almost worthless, unless you use it for personal use.

Well you can call it a device of course, lol. As one person
said, there are two pieces of technology for the blind in Russia,
a white cane and slate and stylus. These are very universal: they
never get broken (though I once broke my stylus), their batteries
never run down, what better technology can you find? lol.

I used it to braille music once. It's a nifty little device but
haven't used it much.

I never used a slate and stylus, but back in elementary school,
I used the
oldest Embosser under the sun: the Braille Blazer. Ugh! It used
to be in the
corner of my classroom for the Braillist to emboss my work,
which was the
worst place in the world for it. I mean, here we were, sitting
on the
carpet, trying to read freaking Curious George or what have you,
and it
suddenly starts going off, and will! not! stop! Talk about
embarrassing.. At
least they have a room for it now, not to mention that I've
said, bye-bye
Blazer, hello Tiger and/or Juliet!

Maybe I had a blund stylus then? lol. Well of course it takes
some getting
used to it, and I'm sure after a while kids would stop staring
at it, but
the teacher was too stubborn, lol. That's why Braille notes are
almost
hieroglyphs for me, lol.

The slate doesn't make that much noise, though. Not more than a
