I find it fascinating how much technology that many of us take for granted, or even disparage as being "lazy", can be a total life-changer for those who are disabled in some way. My cousin is deaf, and prior to the internet his on

Absolutely not. In fact I think Dyson is definitely worth listening to. Obviously I didn't explain myself clearly enough. The point of my comment was that just because someone is a genius, does not automatically make them right. The fa
