      +Trilltrill 24 Actually, one main reason is that a lot of your phone is constant: the names of things, the orders of things,... and we start aro be able to recognize what stuff is within the first sylable. So it just makes sense to speed it up. I organized my phone into folders and alphebetically so that I barely have to listen at all.

      Rosie Cowan-Wilce I always learn please and thank you in any language, by asking. Weather it’s the Korean man at my local convenience store, or the Egyptian lady at the 7-Eleven. When you take the time to learn please and thank you in their native language, it always brings a smile to their face. Sign language was the first language I learned because I worked with the public and noticed a few deaf people every few months.

    • @justinnguyen1290
      @justinnguyen1290 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I was the same way Rosie until one day we had a blind lady get a iPhone but never used voice over before. I told her since she bought 3 classes that if she gave me 2 weeks to train myself that I was confident I could teach her. Well a couple months later she loved it so much she got an iPad and an iMac. I got a valuable learning experience with voice over! Plus if I ever go blind or very hard of hearing I already have a head start!

    The amount of people saying “she doesn’t look blind” is hilarious. What exactly is a blind person supposed to look like?? There are sooo many different types of blindness and many of them don’t effect the physical appearance of the eyes.
    Just because she doesn’t look or act the exact way you expected, doesn’t mean she’s lying! As with anyone who faces a challenge, she has adapted to living without her sight and many of the things you believe are impossible for her to do, are more than possible with a little ingenuity. Before leaving a comment do a little research or watch a few of her videos. She actually answers a lot of the commonly asked questions and explains how she does a lot of things.
    How about letting this video inspire you and teach you something about he world rather than just spreading more negativity around!

I never knew it existed till finding molly and now that I know about it I can help my sister who is dyslexic learn to use it.

    Welcome to the TH-cam channel of an awesome girl who is blind. Now, before you comment, read this. Apparently, sighted people unfamiliar with blindness are often so curious about what they see in her videos and so surprised by a normal girl being blind that they lose all kinds of manners and maturity. In almost all of her videos the comments are filled with newcomers saying they can't believe she's blind, is she really blind, is she lying, how blind is she, wait is she really blind because she does this or doesn't do this, why does she look at the camera, why are her eyes shaking? She has videos answering all of these questions - go to her channel! Watch them! Educate yourself. If you must post a comment on this video, please do so with some respect and manners.
    I think all of Molly's videos need this disclaimer posted at the top. I don't know why people come to her videos and post such naive and rude comments.

    I have to say... I'm so sorry for how EXHAUSTING these comments are! So many comments saying rude and ignorant things. You've addressed all these issues time and time again in your videos, in a simple and interesting way. Yet people watch two minutes of your video and leave a big comment with reasons why you're not blind.
    COME ON PEOPLE. If someone wanted to go on TH-cam and PRETEND to be blind, THEY WOULD MAKE IT LOOK WAY MORE STEREOTYPICAL. They'd wear sunglasses. They'd go out of their way to emphasize not being able to see. They wouldn't go on camera and display a natural command of a phone, for fear of this exact thing: people accusing them of faking it. It's much harder to convince people you're blind when you pretty much don't do ANYTHING that is stereotypical "blind behaviour"... as you can see by all the ignorant comments. I'm just not understanding the logic here.

    If people are saying “shes not interested cause she's typing on the laptop!! And she's just using excuses" uhhhh no. People can actually learn and memories where the keys are, yes i am sighted but I remember where the keys are and so do a lot of other people it only takes a year, and she says she went to school for it too,.... Grow up

      Yeah, the keyboard was meant to be used without looking at it, a lot of people who work a lot at the computer type really fast and they don't even look at the keys anymore

    • @oqeufh
      @oqeufh 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Lol I thought everyone knew that it was possible to type without looking, I know many people that are trained to type like that. I'm also training myself how to do it since I find that once you know how to it's much faster than having to look at the keyboard.

      Angelic Devil especially if people are in like middle-high school. I get questions all the time of how I type so fast without looking at the letters. I always answer with, “we’ve been writing for 7 years. It’s simple.” Because well, it is once you get used to it, especially when I’ve been writing for so long that it’s easier to write faster without looking at all.
      P.S. just something I wanted to share. I can also put all my fingers on for example, a letter to spell like, lollipop, I can spell it and know where the letters are even though my fingers are all on different letters.

      I’m sighted and I was taught how to touch type by grandmother (who worked in a typing pool with typewriters before she married my grandpa) and my mother who is a life long office worker and had typing classes as school. My primary school also taught us the basics of touch typing.

    • @lizzic6207
      @lizzic6207 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Angelic Devil right? My dad and I both work in fields where we use an architectural program called autoCAD. To use it most effectively you type in commands then make what you need with your mouse. I've gotten excellent at just typing quickly with my left hand alone within a few weeks, as did my dad. My dad using the program for about 15 years later developed a pain in his shoulder and he was forced to use the mouse with his left and type all the commands with his right and he was back to his usual speed within a few weeks. I don't know how people don't understand how one can type without looking, whether it's with one hand or both. We are intelligent beings, or at least I thought we all are 😂

    Thank you so much. My 6 year old daughter has Aniridia and a small cataract in one eye and so far, from what we can tell she actually sees pretty well for her condition, but many people with her condition lose their vision somewhere in their late teens, twenties or thirties. I'm just starting out on this journey to find out how to help her, because her first ophthalmologist was a joke and didn't bother to tell us what she has or that she could lose her vision, and it's all so overwhelming so videos like this are very helpful.

      This is why I am scared to tell anyone! Not stone blind, but my eyes are going. I still rely on vision, but if I tell people I am partially sighted they just think it's the same as being short-sighted. People literally telling me to do eye exercises and then I won't need glasses anymore. Like poor eyesight is a result of poor personal choices. Molly's videos are helping me get 'future proofed' as my eyes get worse. She's wonderful.

    1) How she looks at camera? She can see the light above the camera.
    2) Why she needs her iPhone to be in color? She wasn't always blind so she can have her favourite one. And she is not alone in the world - even if she can't read by herself that the phone is pink someone can tell her.
    3) How she know what's her case? Is that even a question? She is not alone in the world! Someone can told her for God sake!
    4) This is the question for you - why do you think pretending being blind is cool? Pls... Just stop talking stupid shit.

    I was given the news about a year ago, that I would more than likely be blind within the next few years, and recently found out that I will eventually have glaucoma and It’s to the point they had to test me 3 times to make sure I didn’t have it. I’m already classified legally blind. As a speed skater, I’m still a little nervous for it, but you, tas, and a deaf blind skater named Kevin frost are going to be my rolemodels

    Molly, you’ve got such a beautiful side profile! Thanks for the informative video. As a pre-med/ nursing student, I appreciate being able to learn how to better accommodate disabled individuals and understand how individuals use technology to help them navigate the world.
