Once we analyse the results, we are going to present the different conclusions that we have made for this project. All of these results are based on the interviews that we did to Estrella and Mª Jesús. 

Firstly, we have discovered that Braille's System has a lot of machines that are useful for blind people. These machines are used by sightless daily, for example, in the case of Estrella, she uses the majority of them for working. 

Secondly, Mª Jesús told us that children are integrated in ordinary classrooms thanks for the new technologies. For this reason, specialised centres of teaching and learning are disappearing in Spain, for example, in Madrid there is only one specialize centre to teach blind children. 

Moreover, we have found that typhlotechnology advances at the same time as new technologies that we have nowadays. Blind people need these technologies to be able to write and read easily and faster than sixty years ago. 

Finally, Estrella and Mª Jesús claimed that sightless adapt easily and quickly to new technologies, even if they do not form part of typhlotechnology. However, they agree that this adaptation depends on the person, if they use frequently new technologies or if they are more or less skillful with them. 

To sum up, we think the new technologies are essential for blind people's lives, they can be integrated in ordinary classrooms with children who need them and they require the same time as us to adapt to them.
