Sharon, is that technology group coming tomorrow or Saturday? I don’t have a computer, but Kathy might like this.  I’ll wait for the iPhone seminar and all the knfb-reader tricks.  Oh, there is no such seminar yet? Oh, just wait.  The computer I want is the iPhone in my pocket.  It gets me transportation, groceries, email, and iMessages.  I have an album collection inside, not to mention a growing library.  I downloaded a program called Simple Radio, set up stations that play the oldies I want to hear from the sixties and seventies and news stations such as BBC, CBC, and WAMU.  I can listen to London or Canada right now, and either one would be clear as a bell.  You wouldn’t believe how many stations from all over the world there are to select to put in your favorites to play at your convenience.  There’s tv on this upgraded phone, but I haven’t set it up.  I subscribe to certain podcasts.  I don’t mess with the games.  Oh, iPhone is still a phone and can make calls, but I mainly text or email.  While I was writing this, two amber alerts came in about a kidnapping and the car that was spotted.  I have alerts turned on.  All this fits into my pocket.  I’m closing before another jarring alert comes.


Oh, yeah, my original question was which day?

These apps are BARD Mobile, Kindle, Audible and Overdrive.  Jerry Price who is an assistive technology trainer will walk you through the process of installing the app, identifying navigational features, the process of getting material and the pros and cons associated with each App.  Tons of door prizes and excitement!

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
