I always laugh when I see people standing on the side of the road staring first at their phone and then out into traffic as they wait for an uber to show up, and meanwhile at least five taxis have gone by that they could have hailed on the spot.
We were here for the US Tennis open.
Hope you enjoyed your time in the city!
That's cool - wish Uber would have that option worldwide.
>>If you choose to use much less convenient taxis instead of an Uber because of a refusal to use cellphones that’s on you
If you think my message is about refusal rather than physical impossibility of using a smartphone, that one is on you I'm afraid.
>>And Google not having accessibility options as good as the iPhone sounds like someone needs to be suing Google under the ADA.
I don't live in the US, I don't know what ADA is.
>>But do you really think blind people are not buying devices that actually work for them?
I know some blind people and they are all on government benefits and way too poor to afford an iPhone. They all have those "old people" mobiles with huge buttons and braille on them. A modern smartphone is both out of reach financially and as far as I understand it just doesn't work for someone who is completely blind.
If you choose to use much less convenient taxis instead of an Uber because of a refusal to use cellphones that’s on you.
> despite the fact that iPhones are a minority of devices out there and in most places they are luxury devices
iPhones are big a minority in the US - where the college is located.
And Google not having accessibility options as good as the iPhone sounds like someone needs to be suing Google under the ADA.
But do you really think blind people are not buying devices that actually work for them?
