Without the sense of touch we would be quite helpless. We would not be able to feel one, we would not feel our feet hitting the floor while walking and injuries would go unnoticed because no pain would be felt. We would also be deprived of many pleasant experiences important for social interaction. For blind people the sense of touch is very important. They move around safely by feeling and touching objects in their surroundings. Blind people compensate for their lack of sight by highly developed sense of touch.
