The first being, “an area that you are not able to see, especially the part of a road you cannot see when you are driving, behind and slightly to one side of the car." The second definition of blind spot is, “a subject that you find very difficult to understand at all, sometimes because you are not willing to try.” But, how does this all tie in with our emotions and technology projects?.
