I deal with modern computing devices with no visual display - or at least,
the visual display is not used. My current Day Job is in accessibility,
and I make extensive use of screen readers (your Android phone comes with
TalkBack, and if you're an iSerf you have VoiceOver). It changes the
design space a lot - not only because 'display' is spoken word rather than
graphics, but because the screen reader inherently serializes the
experience of the UI.

Heh. Remember when "public TV" used to be called "educational TV"?
Do
you remember "Sunrise Semester"? Julius Sumner Miller?

channel had something to do with history. I stopped watching TV a
few years ago, playing with old computers is much more fun...
