Embossed braille should be standard on computer keyboards. 

Accessibility note: It’s important that braille doesn’t vanish because it’s one of the only written language that works for blind and sight-impaired people. It is necessary for them to interact with the real world where screen readers and audio devices are not available to them, such as elevators, most major metro systems, stairwells, doorways, the bumps in the sidewalk at corners are actually developed in conjunction with audio signals so blind people don’t step off the curb into traffic before the correct time. 

Braille is also better than audiobooks for in depth learning & comprehension of academic texts since it allows for spatial navigation, re reading, and direct engagement w the text and its syntax in a way that helps you with information coding (in a similar process to visual saccades for sighted people). Braille literacy is vital to blind and sight impaired people because it allows them better access to education and employment, with folks with Braille literacy being up to 60% more likely to be employed than those without.

imagine, if you will, yet another faggot.
