I'm forwarding this on because the open-ended questions do concern the use of both braille and computer technology by the blind. My assumption, given the email address in the text, is that the survey is legitimate.

Subject:  Understanding the Needs of Blind & Visually Impaired (University 
Survey)



Date:  Sunday, February 06, 2011 11:32 AM



Hello,



I'm part of a team of graduate students at North Carolina State University, 
and we're working on developing technologies into products that may help the 
blind and visually impaired.  We are very interested in learning more from 
individuals who are blind and/or visually impaired so we can better 
understand the needs and problems that are present today, particularly 
regarding the accessibility of information.



We are in the very early stages of research, and would be grateful for a few 
minutes of your time, if you can spare a moment to complete our brief 
10-question survey and/or share it with others:

If you have any trouble with the link, please feel free to contact me at the 
email address below.



With best regards,
