Anne is the Access Technology Director for the National Federation for the Blind.

Pure and simple, I was very impressed by Anne.

So far, she has had the best presentation. Here is a small blind woman, who through the power of her voice, her passion, and her sense of humor kept the audience engaged.

Anne talked about the Moral Responsibility of Technology Developers

Her main points:
1) the current state of technology should support better accessibility for the blind.
2) Inventions specifically for the blind have already changed the world.
a) the Typewriter
b) Optical Character Recognition
c) flatbed scanners
d) text-to-speech
e) First PDA is in brail
3) It is an economically viable thing to do. As our population ages, there will be more and more people with visual impairments.
4) If you are going to design with the blind in mind, involve blind people as early as possible.

Anne is clearly someone who cares about helping people, and she inspired the audience with her passion. (And with facts that logically support her passion.)
