I thought it was simply amazing how that blind
guy could figure out what
an electronic device did by simply rubbing his fingers over the
components. THAT'S INCREDIBLE! But I digress.
First he ran his fingers over the box and then had the kid power it up
and interface it to his braille reader, then he scanned the output
through the reader. I thought that movie had good merit behind it's
ideas...
BAH! What was he reading? The voltage and current levels of each
pin-out of each component on the circuit board? TTL levels of certain
ICs? What? It was totally ridiculous!
