Perhaps I should rephrase after my last question. Can you please describe to me what it is like to only rely on your sense of touch? P.S. > if you haven't actually experienced this, that's fine can you just let me know what you think it would be like. Thanks.

I suggest you read the (auto)biography of Helen Keller. You should find a great deal of relevant information on that topic there.
Best of luck,

To only use the sense of touch requires very good temporal-sequential thinking skills because you have to put information together over time. Your representation of information is different. For example, the only way you can understand color is by the reflection and absorption of heat. you represent things differently in your mind. Most perceptions of the world that we have in our mind are based upon how we respond to it and we form representations based upon how we respond. this is what is meant by sensori-motor intelligence. Helen Keller could only learn based upon such means. The suggestion to read some of her work was good.

Kind of cool I take photography classes and we have to go in this small pitch black closet and try to open film canisters in the dark. It's like your blind. Hearing is of no use and it's kind of relaxing. Like your in your own little world.
