Well I do agree that the practical shape of the penfriend sensor would make
it less convenient to scan each card in your hand than reading a braille
label, however I suspect this will change in the future, for example if you
could have a smaller and more compact reading device which you could hold
more easily, say something the size of an actual pen.
Again though, the Penfriend is the first device of it's type and this is
likely to change in the future, plus the device isn't so awkwkard to use
once you've got the muscle memory in your hands, ---- as i said I use mine a
great deal.
Regarding independence, I'm slightly confused on how using technology isn't
independence, unless your somehow claiming that my Penfriend is acquivolent
to a human helper. Why is writing a braille label and sticking it onto
something any less relying on technology, it's just a question of the
sophistication of the technology, heck if we take this arguement to it's
ultimate conclusion maybe we should all go back to living like gorillas in
the forest and be "independent" of these houses, electricity etc.
I'm afraid you've lost me entirely here Charlse.
