Latest on Surveys

Ivan from Linwood

One of the Supermarket surveys I was doing today has a choice where I choose Most Important or Least Important for a nimber of categories.
One of these was Signage on the shelves inTeo Maori.
As I get older and my sight and hearing and mobility get worse, I would like several guides.... One to tell me what is on the shelf. Or one to tell me by sign language. Or another to lead me to whatever I need. Or another to translate the Te Reo signage to English. I did already notice a mobility shoping vehicle at Countdown in the Palms, but if my eyesight gets worse I may need a driver for this. But the Supermarkets have already solved these problems with Shop Online so I just need a Braille keyboard......Do they have these at the blind forndation? I already inquired about sonar glasses when I was a support worker with a disabled blind person in my care. They did not seem to know what these are?? What a wonderful world this is going to be in the future. Especially if Supermarkets twice as large with shelves that can have touch buttons say with speakers that will have six or more languages to tell people what and and how much everything is. Oh that and signage in at least six languages as well as braille!!!!
