Re: [epilepsy] Miniaturization of technology and how epileptics are affected

 

Here in Canada I have noticed lots of ads on TV for keyboards that are lit up and much larger print and also
with no danger of spilling liquid on them and causing havoc. They kinda light up in the dark too and don't
even need that extra light around you. Boy would I love one of them.

A dock is where you put the laptop, where it can connect to a monitor, full keyboard, etc...basically act as a
desktop. It also will re-charge the battery, since everything is plugged in to the wall.

Most laptops don't come with a dock...you have to pay extra for it, but it is helpful.
