Blind People as Call Center Agents

this was a news way back last year but I've just read it today...(proves how outdated I am..hehehe)

...becauase of lack of Philippines' manpower in call centers the government has innovated a new trend...employing blind people as call center agents...

Next week, the Philippines will open its first ever call center that only employs blind persons, a milestone in the struggle of disabled people to cross the digital
divide.

The facility’s customized outbound call center software and refreshable
Braille display as hardware will allow totally blind individuals to provide
customer assistance while listening to the client on the phone and reading the
responses in Braille.

With the technology, the blind will hopefully gain
the same speed and efficiency as the sighted call center agent, ATRIEV
said.

The launching ceremony for the project will be held on October 20
ATRIEV’s Training Center for the Blind in Quezon City.

The project is expected to be presented at the APEC Conference to be held in Singapore in November 2009. - GMANews.TV

This is a good opportunity for the blind to also become productive despite their handicap.... this will lessen unemployment and of course boost the economy.. really good idea right??? what do you think??? hahha but I think this should also be applicable to other handicap like crippled...hahha wag lang deaf & mute. siyempre.

I don't know effective this has become for I really don't hear any news about such... maybe it was just a plan???

.just updates.

I am too tired to post a worthwhile one right now. I was given additional work loads and the connection here in the office has been shut down from 2 hours after I settled in my station until now. I dunno what has been happening. T'was really a headache being unable to navigate through my "must read/visit" sites of the day.. I felt handicapped. I justrealize how dependent I've grown to the internet.

******

At last I am able to buy my own PC and it is now in my rented room...but it's still not working...still needs to fix something, buy this & buy that..but I am happy. Seeing it in my room makes me feel so giddy & thrilled of the things I could possibly do with it. next thing I' gonna earn for is the connection. But I'm having a hard time which one to avail. Some say broadband is good but others contest...they say DSL is better.

what do you think?? I am really clueless...

need some help here.

...so sentimental..

... "family is an integral and major part of one's life."
"yeah right!!" -- I'd been hearing this numerous times from different people, friends & teachers. I just shrugged it off... "okay!!" I said.

in short I was apathetic about these things about family.. of course I have a family.. they were always behind me..and they made sure to just stay there...andun lang talaga sila palagi. sa likod.. they never bothered to look after me... .

"we trust you!"

"whatever you do we will support it"

they always say that... but instead of feeling good.. i felt bad. I took it negatively. So I struggled on my own..for my own. and just these days I realized it's importance.

I never would have been the girl that I am now...(independent & steadfast)

I used to think they exist so as for me to have something to call a family...para di ako mapahiya sa friends and classmates..ganun

now they served as my inspiration... i should prove that I'm worthy of the trust!

..............


haissst....I'm just being so sentimental about these things coz my Mom will soon go back to the province again..she'd been staying with me for just a week...

ayun lang! not enough time for her to compensate for the times she missed to look after me. naglalambing lang naman ako..heheh anyway...

change topic bago magkaiyakan.

woooshh! katatapos lang ng fire works s alabas ng building... may dragon dance pa!! nice pero may traffic jam din..kaya masaya na inis mga driver..

gotta go!
