News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

Friday, November 13, 2009 No Comments

The news this week is about how some schools seem to think that the Amazon Kindle is a bad tech device because its not able to be setup to read aloud to you if you are blind because that initial setup requires navigating through onscreen menues that do not initially read themselved to you. As oppossed to all those other tech devices they think are just fine, like all the computers (which do not come pre-set to be accessable to the blind) and of course the standard paper books, which have absolutely no provision to read themselves to you. I also cover a science story on why you can remember great jokes and stories…but not who you told them to. Could it be that your too concerned about how your coming off to others to be bothered remembering who they are?
