Bearing in mind that I have never used that service I think the agent
can communicate with you. Like, move the phone just a little to the
right, back off a little and so forth. I was listening to a podcast
about it in which someone was using it to find his way through an airport.

disbelief and skepticism, not through a childlike wishing something were
so! Your patient's wish to be in God's hands is not truth. It is simply
a child's wish—and nothing more! It is a wish not to die, a wish for the
eveastingly bloated nipple we have labeled 'God'! Evolutionary theory
scientifically demonstrates God's redundancy—though Darwin himself had
not the courage to follow his evidence to its true conclusion. Surely,
you must realize that we created God, and that all of us together now
have killed him.” ― Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept

Sounds good, just so long as you are focusing the phone accurately so that the
picture will be distinguishable to whoever will be looking at it. Like, if
you're pointing at a street sign but you can't see precisely where the sign is,
how well would that work?

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.
