Re: [blind-democracy] phone
Well, I can think of an advantage. I forget the name of the company. I
think it might be Eye Rah. At least it sounds like that. Anyway, get
their app and
you point the camera phone at pretty much anything and one of their
agents tells you what it is or answers other questions. Like what does
that street
sign say? Which shirt am I about to put on? Read these instructions to
me. And so forth.

Roger,
The name of the cell phone I had, just came into my head. It was a
Jitterbug
phone. Not a smart phone, just a cell phone that supposedly is easier to
use
because of the size of the buttons. I guess I have one more thing to
add. If
you have a computer and the latest version of the stream which has GPS, I
don't see what you would need an I phone for except to have the
satisfaction
of owning a device that most sighted people own. It's expensive because,
eventually, you'll need to buy an updated model. Owning the latest stuff is
what Capitalism is all about.
