STEVIE WONDER WANTS MORE GADGETS FOR THE BLIND: Artist plugs 'vision free' devices at Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas.
*Stevie Wonder attended the premier Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week to praise innovative "vision-free" devices and urge manufacturers to create more of them.
"Me, I'd like a car I can use to get around," Wonder said when asked by AFP what technology breakthrough is at the top of his wish list. "That may be a long way off."
Wonder praised the fact that the new Apple Nano iPods speak the names of titles in music libraries and feature trademark circular control panel that is simple to navigate by touch. He seeks a device that will listen to snippets of music he happens to hear and then automatically tell him the titles and artists.
On Friday, Wonder handed out Vision Awards to select CES devices for helping the visually-impaired take advantage of digital-age wonders. "This technology can not only be great for blind people but for people in general," Wonder said. "Anything that is more accessible for us is great for everyone."
