NEW YORK - The craze for touch-screen gadgets, sparked by Apple Inc's popular iPhone, is raising worries that a whole generation of consumer electronics will be out of the reach of the blind.
Motown icon Stevie Wonder and other advocates came to the world's biggest gadget fest, the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, to convince vendors to consider the needs of the blind.
I think it's silly to want more out of cell phones for the blind outside of a brail phone. It's like asking the music industry to put more vibration in it's music.
Wonder told a CES event that his wishlist included a car he could drive — which he acknowledged was probably "a ways away" — and a Sirius XM satellite radio he could operate.
But wait Stevie we have the technology!

But no really, I think the real concern here is the loyalty of the care takers of Stevie Wonder clearly nobody has mentioned to him that he has a half of head of braids.
