I have never tried that. I just ask at the airline checkin desk for an
assistant and they get someone to walk me through security and to the gate.

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.

Irvin D. Yalom “Truth," Nietzsche continued, "is arrived at through 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.

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.
