Might Like to Be Aware of:
- (2006): After Neoconservatism
- : “I was curious as Apple products have been more than just up market gadgets to me… my access to the many things… those of us with deafblindness particularly struggle with…. I am severely deaf and have only a very small tunnel of vision in my right eye…. I decided to order the Apple Watch Sport 42mm (the bigger face size) with white strap so I’d not lose it quite so easily…. The default settings I have on my iPhone are set to large text and I was pleased to be able to have this on my Apple Watch. I also use Zoom large text set to the largest. The new setting ‘Prominent Haptic’ is perhaps my favourite in accessibility… definitely awesome for me as a deafblind person. So far for me the most useful App on the Apple Watch is Maps–on my iPhone I can plan my journey from one destination to another, for me it will be on foot with Unis my guidedog. This is where Haptics really come into its own–I can be directed without hearing or sight, but by a series of taps via the watch…. I am now very happy to own an Apple Watch and look forward to making it work well for me.”
