Currently watching #fascinating TV show on #BBC2 with blind comedian #ChrisMcCausland exploring options in tech for accessibility, such as self-driving cars, glasses and phone apps… amazing to watch how he does life now, let alone what else is coming to help him.

I reviewed Chris McCausland: Seeing into the Future - a mind-blowing doc that does a great job of showing how tech can transform disabled people’s lives (but could do more on the tension in how much of it is made by The Worst Men On Earth). www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Chris McCausland: Seeing into the Future review – the comic just can’t hide his emotion in this mind-blowing show
He tries to play the stoic in this look at the incredible changes to disabled peoples’ lives that tech could bring. But the radical benefits of one piece of kit leave him visibly moved

Listening to fascinating tales from #ChrisMcCausland being interviewed by #EmmaBarnett on ‘Ready To Talk’ #BBCSounds podcast - not just about #Strictly, but also much from his life & becoming fully-blind. He is wonderfully-open in talking about all his experiences & how it all happened, bravo!
