yo
Oh No a power cut let me just get a
candle orange I think I hit a table
where is OH
here do you know there are some people
who have mastered the art of navigating
in darkness and they are also trained to
read and write in the dark these mighty
people are the blind and they do this
with the unique writing system called
Braille I am so excited to tell you
about the amazing story of this
invention ah thank God it's back come
friends zoom in the history of this
unique writing system goes all the way
back to the early eighteen hundreds
several soldiers in the French army were
using lamps to read the combat messages
a terrible decision as the light shining
from the lamps told the enemies where
the French soldiers were a man named
Charles ba ba
saw this problem and developed a night
writing system for the soldiers it was a
system with 12 raised dots in a cell
which could be read with fingertips and
it helped the soldiers read without
attracting any unwanted attention
then in 1821 Charles Xavier was invited
to introduce the night writing system to
a class of young blind students however
there was one flaw in this system it was
just impossible to feel all the dots
with a single touch still it was enough
to inspire one student a curious little
boy named Louie Braille
brain was blinded at a very young age in
an accident when he was playing with an
awl and punching holes in leather but a
physical disability was no bar for
brains bright spirit soon he was back in
the workshop with his imagination and
this time instead of leather Braille was
punching dots on paper he worked
tirelessly for years to modify Charles
Barbee as night writing system for his
fellow blind individuals and soon enough
the hard work of this little genius bore
fruit Braille simplified the night
writing system and reduced the 12 raised
dots to 6 this meant that a single
letter could now be recognized with a
single touch now that was a big
improvement kids because it made reading
for the blind much easier and faster
they were absolutely delighted for the
next 5 years
Braille refined the writing method which
was already in use
finally in 1829 Dre published a book
explaining the entire Braille code for
writing and reading
despite the great advantages of it Louis
brains own University refused to adopt
the system but there was no stopping him
he soon started spreading Braille
amongst the students after being
appointed as a teacher this braille
moved by brave I mean this brave move by
Braille helped the students immensely
and in 1854 two years after Louie brains
death the rising demands from the
students made the university adopt the
Braille writing system officially since
then Braille writing system has spread
throughout the world and has been giving
vision to the blind in the form of
literacy oh there it goes that was my
last copy of the Braille guide I'll
probably go and get some more oh but
wait stay right here
trivia time do you know about these
yellow things on the floor probably in
train stations these are actually
helping hands for blind people enabling
them to find their way and avoid
obstacles and these are known as Braille
for feet wait this isn't a train is it
whoa whoa what is this hmm
why am I here
oh look that's a friend Louie Braille
passing by
did you know an asteroid has been named
99 69 Braille to honor none other than
Louie Braille there it goes
so kids you see how one man's invention
helped so many blind people worldwide oh
wait maybe he can help me find my way
back to earth don't forget to tune in
next time this is me sue me out hey wait
Louie brain Louie Braille wait hey kids
