President
Clinton:
(excerpts
from The President's remarks "Digital Opportunities
for Americans with Disabilities")
 "I
visited America's newest community technology center this
afternoon, right here in Flint, a partnership between the
Department of Education, Mott Community College and the
nonprofit Disability Network, focusing on empowering people
with disabilities to access the Internet and learn computer
skills. I was amazed by a lot of what I saw: technology
that translates web pages aloud for people who are blind
or visually impaired; provides captioning for deaf and hard
of hearing people; enables people with significant physical
disabilities to control a computer through eye movement
and brain waves. This technology has unbelievable potential.
"I
have a friend in North Carolina, named Joe Martin, with
Lou Gehrig's disease. Years ago, we worked together on education
and the economy in the South. Joe Martin then was in great
health. He was vigorous, energetic, charismatic, compelling
and effective. He's had Lou Gehrig's disease for some time
now, and in spite of how great he was then, he is greater
today in every way.
"Although
he can't walk or talk or use his hands, his eyes provide
a window on the world. With EyeGaze technology, he can look
at a computer screen and type away just using his eyes.
He e-mails people here in Flint. With another glance he
can activate an electronic voice that reads his words aloud.
This astounding technology has enabled him to keep his job
as a banker, to talk with his wife and friends and, now,
write an about to be published compelling book about his
life."
(Applause.)
