I died laughing when he said he used to swing it around and hit kids

[bobsaggat]

Fascinating how simple yet complex braile is

[stephenbarbieri]

i shouldn't take my sight for granted

[Aramis]

I was always curious about this topic, but never found anybody entertaining enough to hold my attention. Thanks, Tommy and Team!

[danpoleon]

Thank you for making this video. I was always curious how the Braille System works.

People who are blind AND poor have it the worst.

Tommy, you have such a good attitude!

[NocturnalToothbrush]

Dude, it would take me 600 years to learn to be able to feel out and read the braille.

[blueberg]

For some reason, I want him to make a story...

I had to once make a little pamphlet in history with my blind friend for the development of the U.S. so, what we did was that we divided the work in half and we ended up just using his braille paper for it, so one side was written in braille and the other side was just in print. It looked a little messy, but it worked out.

Did anyone else think he was somehow playing piano with that thing at 1:20?

Hi Tommy, thank you so much for this video. I'm in the starting levels of learning braille so this helped a lot :) I'm a visually impaired musician from Iceland - just recently got told im legally blind. Your channel is both helping me and making my days better :D Keep up the good work!

When I was in high school, I applied to take community college classes on weekends (in a special program) so I could get ahead as much as possible. The counselor that set me up for my CC classes was blind and she typed on one of these. It was pretty fascinating to see

Tommy, you're always in such a good mood and you make people smile, keep up the good work.

This guy is so inspiring! Although he is blind he obviously has not let that get in his way. He has not given up on making life fun and a good time.

It is impossible to not like all of your videos. Please never change. We need more souls like you in this world

[james_m]

there was a blind kid in my class and i remember how loud that was haha. a goverment scheme got him a fancy electronic one that was more powerful then my teachers laptop though which was really sweet

[shepardpeterson]

I love how positive he always is and how he handles it so well! He is amazing!!!

[LazerField]

I wish I had known about your channel sooner. I've never really given any thought to how blind people use calculators, or smart phones, or even how they feel about animals. It's fascinating to see things from another perspective.
