Hi. There's only 1 problem with that I can see and it's a bit of a paradox. If time travel exists then it would have to be from the future so it hasn't happened yet even if it has. Assuming that it has already been done it would have been done in such a way as to not to interfere with history.

Hi tom I agree with dark in that the cost of braille devices is still way beyond the average person's means. Basically braille is being killed by the price tag attached to it. Take a brailler for example, they are about £400 or something like that anyway. they aren't portable, they're clunky,
