Abstract
Modern society requires a constant keeping up with innovative trends in the field of
information literacy and knowledge of new computer technologies. In order for each
individual to be fully integrated into social life, to progress in education and to socialize
successfully, it is necessary to master the basics of computer literacy. People with visual
impairments tend to fit into the educational and social environment with the help of computer
technology, but they mostly encounter difficulties due to insufficient knowledge of the
individual needs of each individual. It is necessary to ensure accessibility, equal conditions of
use for all persons and thus enable them to successfully establish and maintain
communication.
Key words: computer technology, advantages, limitations, communication, People with
visual impairments
