Question
Louis Braille was just 15 years old when he invented a revolutionary reading and writing system that has helped millions of visually impaired people access countless manuscripts. Braille, who lost his sight in an accident, developed his braille system in the 1820s. The system relies on patterns of raised dots to represent letters and numbers, allowing users to feel the symbols with their fingertips. Today, braille is used around the world. Libraries provide visually impaired patrons with books written in braille. Braille signage on doors and elevator buttons helps guide individuals through public spaces. The next time you’re in an elevator, take a look at the keypad and you’ll see braille numbers that indicate which button to push for each floor.
Despite the creation of new technologies such as screen readers and voice recognition software, braille remains widely used today. These advancements complement braille, rather than replace it.
A student infers that Braille's system has positively impacted the safety of visually impaired people.
