"Seeing machine" offers legally blind view of world"...

What a wonderful way to start the day!...Imagine having been legally blind for years and then one day, hearing a knock on your door and 'peering' out to 'see' someone with a small box in his hand and hearing her say, "I can make you see again!"

I have a friend who is legally blind, but probably not blind enough for this machine to help him much. But I know what pain comes with being, even slightly, blind.

Kudos to Elizabeth Goldring, A legally blind poet at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has designed a "seeing machine.

Now I'm off to the creek!

Later...
