Months after he was born,
in 1948, Ron McCallum became blind. In this charming, moving talk, he
shows how he is able to read -- and celebrates the progression of clever
tools and adaptive computer technologies that make it possible. With
their help, and that of generous volunteers, he's become a lawyer, an
academic, and, most of all, a voracious reader. Welcome to the blind
reading revolution. (Filmed at TEDxSydney.)
Blind almost since birth, Ron McCallum is one of Australia's most
respected legal scholars, and an activist on behalf of disabled people
around the globe.
