nothing wrong with the idea of a guide cat per say, but guide mice with

You make some great points and yes, dogs are great ice breakers for

they are animallovers in the dog case which is a good thing or they

tech enthusiasts in the iPad case which is also a good thing.

Subject: [mac4theblind] people's reaction to technology especially
the
iPad
was Re: Apple announces Retina iPad model with 128 GB of storage,
$799
and
$999 price tag
I changed the subject to keep things easier to sort for folks who
want to
drop the thread.
So one of the interesting things about the iPad specifically is
that I
think
people don't realize you are blind, especially at first. THis is a
newer
experience because previously, our technology looked very blind
specific
or
strange to sited observers. I've often said our devices had the
fashion
cense of a brick. This may have suited very specific needs for us
but it
stood out more.
Now I use the same iPad that everyone around me is using. My phone
doesn't
look like a brick with big buttons on it, it looks like everyone
else's
iPhone because it is.
I think what happens now, at least in my experience is that someone
will
sit
down, strike up a conversation with you and find that you're
interesting
and
intelligent before they realize you have a disability and then it's
to
late
for them to think negatively because you've won them over to some
degree.
You're starting the experience from a place of commonality instead
of
difference. Some young lady for example may sit down next to you,
take
interesting in your iPad because she has / wants / is interested in
them,
through the course of conversation learns you have a job, don't
live with
your mother and are put together and since you've hit all the really
important points she cares about and obviously fit the physically
attracted
to you bit by picking you out of the other options by the time she
realizes
your blind it's way down the list of things she really cares about.
WHere
as if you have some device that makes you stick out that initial
conversation may carry more baggage from societies general
perceptions.
Does that make sense?
I don't in any way mean to say that I am hiding my blindness or
think
anyone
should, be real with what you are:) but think icebreakers because
we all,
blind, sited or other wise need icebreakers of one form or another.

I think, overall, some people are generally surprised and

people have come up to me to ask about the iPhone or iPad. Of
course,
there are some sighted folks who can hardly believe that we can
tie our
own shoelaces, but that's a different story.
In regard to the new iPad and keeping this on topic, honestly, I
think
that we are only going to see increases to the processor and minor
hardware improvements with each model. Unless Apple has
something truly
innovative they are keeping a complete secret, something like a
128 GB
model is probably the types of upgrades we will be seeing.

heeheee
All I meant folks is these things like iPads or tech in
general are
good
ice breakers. Lets also remember where I did this was the
technology
hub of the planet so there are lots of gear heads of both
sexes
available. There's also the status symbol factor. For the
same
reasons
that some people drive higher end cars having a high end
tablet is in
some ways a sign of success although maybe better put it's a
sign of
being with the times and current. Either way, my main
direction here
was using technology as an ice breaker.
Oh and if you want to pick up guys it just hit me, go with
bacon.:)
