Excuse me, but, when did I ever say I needed this
before being productive? For the record, I hardly ever use screen shade. So with
all due respect, don't put proverbial words in my mouth which I never said. I
was trying to make a point that some people, even those only with light
preception, might have sensitive eyes.
For example. I have some usable vision, yes, and
definitely can see enough to tell my screen is lit up. NO, not enough to read
what's on it, but definitely enough to tell when things are popping up on the
screen. I have a rare eye condition called Aneridia though. Go Google it, if
you're so inclined. Part of this disorder is that your puples are 100% diolated
24/7, so therefore, obviously, more light gets in than usual for a sighted
person, and therefore light can really really hurt my eyes at times. So
therefore, when I'm having a bad day, where is the case, and my eyes are
hurting, I'll turn on the screen shade. It's not a matter of me thinking I need
it since I'm blind, again, I never said that. It's neither that I necessarily
need it per sé, but sometimes, the screen does hurt my eyes from its radiating
light. So this is a way, I can blank out the screen to a solid black, or well,
more like a really dark gray, but whatever, point is, it definitely knocks a lot
of that brightness off the thing, therefore making it more easy on my
eyes.
This isn't a privacy thing, and honestly I have no
earthly inkling of an idea what gave you that impression, or that I thought
because I was blind, I had to have it or I'd not be productive. I'm sorry, but
until you live in someone's shoes like this, it probably might be slightly hard
to relate to, but trust me, it really does help.
If I am misunderstanding the tone or meaning of
your message, then I profusely apologize, but this is at least how it is coming
off to me when reading it. I open your clarification if I'm
misunderstanding.

if you can see what is the point?
that is real sad you think you need this feature, before you
can be productive as a blind person?

I totally agree! It's not just a privacy thing.
What about those people who the monitor hurts their eyes? Again, yeah, just
turn the monitor off, I get it, but like I said earlier, a lot of these
monitors you hit a keystroke and yeah, it turns it off, but only until your
next keypress, which kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion, therefore, a
screenshade would be in order.

Josh your argument is so invalid. Just because I want privacy
does not
mean I must be up to something bad hell I just want to be able
to have
my screen blank when I need it to be. I wouldn't dream of wanting
to
get in the way of someone elses privacy unless I had a major
reason.
