How the Blind See the World | Christine Ha | TEDxUCSD

[@bunnehead]

Who is rude and talking during her lovely speech.

[@jessn.2665]

Leo Garcia well they should have edited it out

[@lordgarion514]

Jessica N You do realize that that's quite impossible right? You can reduce or eliminate certain frequencies of sound, but you can't just remove one sound. For example, if you have twins that sound a LOT alike(but different enough that you can tell them apart) and you remove one twin's voice, you'll also remove all the frequencies from the other twin that they share. The same applies here. If you remove the translator's voice some of Ha's voice is also going to be removed.

She's such a sweetheart. Smiling and laughing the whole time.

[@chun1310]

She really is an inspirational person !!

[@BrunoLeal2015]

Wow ... she's such a good speaker... This girl is amazing. Sending you regards from Brazil Christine!

[@KingsKatt21]

I must admit this is something I never thought of being a real problem. There are so many area's we take in everyday life for granted. Its really hard for me to imagine what an inconvenience things that we see as routine or simple as a hardship for those that are blind. She really is an inspiration and an advocate for those that are blind. God bless you Christine. Never give up this fight.

[@huynhanhcn9]

I love being vietnamese more when I know there is a woman can be chef without vision, especially she is vietnamese american. Nothing is impossible.

[@zomkino]

being vietnamese is not what matter here.... yeah she is but if she was swedish it'll be the same the one thing that made her famous is that she won masterchef.. not where she from.

We at Xeno Innovations would like to take up this challenge to make our websites and software more accessible. Already we do our best to work with an easy flow design, and listen to our pages using SpeakIt! .. However we want to do better, and want other software companies to do better too. Yes, lets all post out this challenge to make better design flows! Thank you Christine Ha for this enlightening delivery.

[@theblindcook]

Thank you for your awareness. I use apple's voiceover & JAWS on myPC

[@MMTV_2030]

I chose Christina Ha as in public speaker. I will be presenting her and sharing her story with my class and teacher, as in part of my assignment. She is an inspiration, I watched her every episode on master, I knew with the dedication she would win. She is The living example of struggle to success stories. You are light yourself Christina, Inspiring so many people around you. Converting the obstacles into opportunities. Thankyou TED-X

[@yendang9950]

she's amazing .i love her so much

[@halong1897]

First I've got to say that I admire Christine Ha a lot. And I've come to realize that what she said about us humans being 'temporarily abled' is so so true. Especually about my aunt, having gradually lost her vision due to aging which is inevitable for all of us including everyone me and you. It's been kinda enlightening to hear that from her and see how true it is.

[@keithshwalbe6981]

Bravo Christine. A very enlightening talk X

[@jackiedollhouse1861]

Christine! You are a role model for me to look up to.

[@Kahless314]

I have been following you since the time you participated in Masterchef Season 3 and was hugely satisfying seeing you win.I hooked my Parents to watch you on TV coz you were the first inspiration I have had. I was waiting for you to be on TedX. Amazing to see you ❤

[@lydiagentges4769]

she's such a huge inspiration.

[@pastaramen9596]

You look beautiful. When you talked about navigating through an airport , that really opened my mind to the challenge any disabled person faces. Others take the convince for granted( nothing wrong with it) , but your talk makes me have respect for life in general.

[@eyee4133]

I have been following Christine Ha and she is amazing. I am glad she is on TED. I hope people see the world we are in and try to help one another

Omg I can’t believe she did a ted talk 😮 I had no idea and I bet a lot of others don’t we need to share this

[@jacquizhu]

Extremely inspirational!

[@senorbean8316]

From the irony of daredevil the series to going blind at an early age . The master chief Christina ha cooks up the essentials of being blind and shows you how to be masterfull of your 4 senses in brillant fashion. An Outstanding ted talk

[@sudhindrakopalle7071]

What a super impressive talk. Full of courage, confidence, optimism and candor.

[@charisseaquino6777]

[@anasandoval6698]

Domz Forgives She lives in Houston, Tx. Her KZbin channel Cha Tube has a PO Box address, you could also search for her in Instagram and Facebook under TheBlindCook

[@aukiio]

"get in contact with her" This sounds weird

[@katiatannus3146]

We should be grateful for the things we have, because there are a lot of unfortunate people in this world that don't have the things we have

[@shawnk2704]

Christine's my reason for watching mastercher season 3 several times over. Who else thinks so too? She's the inspiration

[@ligayalacdao4333]

Yup, been bingeing watching Christine since last night when I stumbled of her videos in masterchef.

[@NicoleHaKimNhan]

how inspiring you are, Christine! Great job! Keep it up! You have my support, always! Hugs from Aarhus, Denmark :-*

[@eboneee100]

I've put on a blindfold in my home one day and I have to say I was totally lost. I will try again now though and see, however I can't imagine how I would possibly get around at an airport with so many people around. Christine I tried the cell phone selfie and no way was that possible, wow! I have some work to do. I really want to understand and learn how you navigate around. Thank you for coming out and speaking here, because you were not born blind inspires me to try and enter this dark world for a time. I'm Blessed thus far as I've reached that lucky age of 77 and I still have my sight but I see it fading so I'm open to learn just in case. I'm now teaching myself to sign as well since my hearing loss is not good at all. I'm smiling large now as each day I'm teaching myself a new language so I ask myself what the heck took me so long to do these things. Thank you for your speech here and yes you are most definitely an inspiration. God Bless you always Christine...Melvina...

[@nikkageorgerapisura8878]

"...see the world as the blind do..." I'll always remember it. Thank you for your words, Christine!

[@minhattrinh6891]

Ai đó có thể vietsub video này được không? Cảm ơn!

[@carmengogeidnas9670]

Here after watching her season of MasterChef. She really is an inspiration to the differently abled, women, and immigrants all over the world. I am so happy that I had the honor of watching her cook and proving to everyone that having a disability doesn't mean you can do all the same things that other people do.

[@jgarcia0264]

I have a VI student who loves technology immensely. I remember a month ago when her Siri app crashed and she couldn’t operate her phone anymore. She was so panicked that she wouldn’t be able to call her mother and let her know to meet her outside when her bus would be bringing her home. We of course let her family know immediately, but you could see it was like she was temporarily cut from her independence. When she brought up the part about being able to access social media, it hit home for me.

[@Ylluria]

*HUGE APPLAUSE*

[@DarkHowlerz]

Background talking... rude much?

[@minhattrinh6891]

I know NMO has taught you many valuable lessons, but I still don't understand why you don't want to regain your sight? Wouldn't it be better to live a life with many valuable lessons with your vision?

[@DJxSGGxNeo]

I wish there was more content from blind people, I am trying to find a blind philosopher, it would help me build my over all philosophy of life.

[@StephenVTran]

Mr Blank why? Are you also blind?

คุณคือแรงบันดาลใจให้กับหลายๆคนที่กำลังหมดกำลังใจ ให้ลุกขึ้นมาสู้ ขอบคุณครับ

[@leannehunt2674]

Thank you Christine for your very informative talk. I could really relate, having become legally blind at 17 with Stargardt's disease. I've learnt that it is empowering to share how you see the world and tell people how they can help, and you gave some really useful examples for people to consider. In case you are interested, I published a book called "What Every Blind Person Needs You To Know", about honouring the journey towards independence of the visually impaired. It's available in print and ebook format on Amazon. My daughter was the one who pointed me toward your TED Talk, after being shown it at university. She is studying therapy techniques and your presentation was used to give insight into the needs of people with sight loss. May your influence continue to spread far and wide!

[@ligayalacdao4333]

Why no subtitles, TEDx? :(

click on the CC (closed caption button)

[@MrayaRocks]

+kampfire94 Those are automatically generated by KZbin, with loads of mistakes. Since it's a Ted Talk about accessbility I think it should be properly subbed :/

[@MrayaRocks]

+kampfire94 Actually, all talks should. Accessbility is key. But most have subs in vários languages, I don't get why this one doesn't have.

[@joyceyaffe1832]

Thank you for your talk. Disabled does not mean unable.

[@restlesssoul1]

She is so motivational. I conducted a event last year which was a tactile tour for girls from BPA,Delhi. We went for a stables experience tour. This video motivated me to make a video on that event. I will make it shorty. My girls did horse riding, learned how the horse skin feels, how they are kept in stables and feed and bathed. Beautiful experience. Thanks TEDx for this video. Will share my video soon,

[@Rockybaikalov]

You are the most beautiful blind woman in the world because you are so confident and don't look like a blind at all

Give it a try guys, close only one eye and try to feel what can you "see" with the closed eye. There is nothing, just empty, not even having darkness
