generally I prefer to think that "world on fire" is just Matt being dramatic. again. really it's sort of like. he has radar sense, yeah, which is seriously useful in a fight, and his enhanced senses help for him to be able to at least put a coherent picture together, but with all the advances in printing he can't really read printed things by just running his hands over them.

I figure he could "read" handwritten notes, but only if they leave an impression. printed? ha.

his sense of touch is p sensitive in the series (cotton is sandpaper, apparently), but I'd guess probably not as sensitive as 616!Matt, who at one point in Daredevil: Yellow manages to bend bars bc he can tell where the weak spots in the metal are.
