For deaf blind people, the problem of communication may seem almost insurmountable, and certainly frustrating. Of course, we're all familiar with the example of the famous activist and lecturer Helen Keller, the first deadblind person to earn a Bachelor's degree but but in the 21st century, when so much information is available at our fingertips via video, social media, online news, people who are deaf blind can be cut off from the rich seam of human knowledge available online. Back in April, Samsung and Cheil WW India launched Good Vibes, an app that uses the principles of Morse Code and smartphone vibrations to give deaf blind people access to that information, as well as allowing them to write messages via a pattern of taps.
