My name's Robin Christopherson,
and I'm Head of Digital Inclusion at AbilityNet
and we're partnering the awards here this afternoon,
and am really please that everybody has turned up,
because it's such a vital area - technology,
speaking as a blind person myself.
For me personally,
technology has meant the difference between having a job and no job.
I'm absolutely positive about that technology helped me get through my education,
and through university,
and it enables me to work with a computer, with the internet,
write documents and reports, review websites,
code web applications, mobile applications,
that sort of thing.
The whole world is open through technology for someone who's got no vision,
like myself.
