Technology helps dyslexics decode written word | Box of delight | Scoop.it
I remember yearning to read the comics in the Sunday paper.
But the hieroglyphs inside the speech balloons remained inscrutable, until - on a sunny morning in Miss O'Shea's class - I finally grasped that a-n-d on the page and "and" in conversation meant the same thing.

Ultimately, our devices will rely on our feedback just as much as data.
