Chapter Seven
ReplyDeleteScanners are used to read print, no matter the font style, aloud for blind and GPS technology is used to guide them. Hingson uses his GPS to fly an airplane.
Chapter Eight
Hingson was not considered for many jobs because he is blind, however his blindness helped him to develope intricate CAD designs because the buyer had to describe exactly what they wanted, as well as demonstrate products prompting people to buy the product because it must be convenient and easy to use because he was blind and could use it.
Chapter Nine
Religion has always been a major part of the author's life. He attended church and had many discussions about religion with his father, he prays avidly, he believes God guided him out of the dust from the World Trade Center collapsing and he identifies that experience with walking through the valley of the shadow of death. The shepherd and sheep image he identifies with his father and how he was a shepherd and how he himself is a shepherd and Roselle is his sheep. He must guide Roselle where he wants to go and she will guide him to safety, just like the shepherd and his sheep.
7) There is a scanner for print to be read allowed. And there are braille machines used to write braille. Also a GPS helps guide him. Hingson use either worked for a producer of the company of used the machine itself.
ReplyDelete8) Hingson's blindness helps him because he can use his guide dog to attract people to his business. But also a hindrance because some people won't hire him because he is blind.
9)He sees the shepherd and the sheep in many aspect of his life. For example he uses him and Roselle as a comparison. He also saw himself as the sheep for God. Religion has a very large impact in his life because for the first time he speaks to god during 9/11.
Chapter 7:
ReplyDeleteOne of Hingson's greatest technological assets are text-to-speech programs, which allow him to read printed materials. He was hired right out of college to work on these types of machines, which were just an emerging technology at the time. Two of his contributions were the "nominator" key and "Contrast" control. Hingson also makes use of a GPS system that helps him to avoid getting lost.
Chapter 8:
Being blind seems to provoke prejudice in seeing humans. Hingson experienced this in the job market when his job interview was suddenly cancelled, apparently just because the company found out he was blind. However, blindness proved to be an asset in some situations. For example, when Hingson was selling CAD drawing programs, his customers necessarily got more involved in the program demonstration because of his blindness. Also, Hingson gives some credit to his guide dogs, who typically encouraged customers to look on Hingson, as a salesman, with greater favor.
Chapter 9:
Hingson spends quite a while addressing his views of God and religion, and the role that he thinks God played in his survival of 9/11. He seems to have quite a lot of faith and trust in God, who he views as a shepherd-like fatherly figure. This conception of religion is especially significant to Hingson for two main reasons: his father was a shepherd as a boy, and guided Hingson to a faith in God; and Hingson sees his relationship with Roselle as a shepherd-sheep kind of bond. They trust each other, guide each other, and protect each other.
Chapter Seven
ReplyDeleteHingson helped with the reading machine because he helped test them with people. He taught people how to use them and collected information on peoples reactions to them to help improve the machines. He also uses a GPS to be able to safely fly and land a plane.
Chapter Eight
Being blind was a disadvantage because he wasn't seriously considered for many jobs and sometimes it stopped it from even getting a chance to be interviewed. It helped though because it had a value when it came to sales, especially with his demonstrations. It gave many people the idea that the product would be easy to use because a blind man could do it. Having a guide dog with him also helped make people open up.
Chapter Nine
Religion is big in his life through his father. His father would always read to him about Christianity. He believes it is important to have a friendship with God. He prays the day of the attack multiple times and he heard God answer his question outside the building. This image is special to him because his father too was a shepherd. It also reminds him of him and Roselle. She has to trust him and his commands and guide him safely.
Chapter Seven
ReplyDelete1. Changes that have come about for blind people are machines that can read text aloud to the listener. Raymond Kurzwreil had gotten the idea to produce the prototype of this machine because of the simple conversation with a blind man on a plane. Straight out of college Hingson had the opportunity to work with Kurzweil and the National Federation for the Blind and develop better machines that have come a long way and can now be put onto a smart phone or similar device.
Chapter Eight
1. Being blind had been a hinderance in Hingson's professional career because like any disability, some jobs don't allow such applicants to be hired, and being blind, people view that as being not able to perfrom the job ahead, just as professors did not believe Hingson could not recieve a PhD in Physics. Due to the fact that Hingson is blind, for example, he was denied even an interview because the hirer had seen that he had worked with the NFB, and when asked if someone in his family was blind, he replied, "I am blind," and the interview was cancelled early the very next morning. However, being blind has been a very helpful tool in his sales industry, helping him not only to almost persuade customers, although he doesn't like to use that reason, he also could go more in depth with customers that needed training with products or technology such as the CAD system that he helped develop for architects, leading them through and having them have the system almost mastered by the time they were finished with the training.
Chapter Nine
1. Hingson depends on God for every aspect in his life. He believes that God had kept him safe throughout the attack, and that he led him through the disaster, bringing to him peace when he was fearful, and guidance when he thought all was lost. He relates to Psalm 23, stating that as a Shepherd leads his sheep, God leads his people, watching over them, keeping then safe, and loving every single one of them unconditionally, and how it is the same between himself and leading and being the Shepherd of Roselle. He talks about having a friendship with God, instead of being tied to the bonds of straight religion.
Chapter 7
ReplyDeleteChanges in technology that have come about for blind people are scanners that can read aloud any type of text and GPS technology that a blind person can use to guide them. Hingson helped make the reading machines better by going around and showing people how to use them and getting feedback for the company. He also uses a GPS himself to fly a plane.
Chapter 8
Because of his blindness, he has not been considered for many jobs because some felt a blind person was not able to do certain jobs. Other than this hinderance, he's taken his blindness and used it to his advantage. For example, when it came to sales this trait was valuable because it helped him sort of persuade customers that felt if he was able to do it they could too. And also it helped him get the customers more involved with the technology such as the CAD because it forced them to explain exactly what they wanted.
Chapter 9
Religion seems to be very important to Hingson. He depends on God to lead him every single day in his life and he trusts him. He prayed to God several times during 9/11 and he heard God's answers. The shepard and sheep image is important to him because his father was a shepard as a boy, he often talked to his father about religion and he also compared himself and Roselle to the shepard and sheep.
Chapter 7
ReplyDeleteHingson uses many technologies at all points in his life. He discusses the braille typewriters, the scanning systems, and the GPS that has allowed him to fly and land a plane. Hingson has worked directly with professionals developing the scanning and audio reading machines.
Chapter 8
In Hingson's career, his blindness has hindered him, but has also helped him. Some job interviews he has been declined on the spot due to his blindness. However, the "perks" of his blindness has helped his career. He admits it is sometimes useful to have an adorable dog with you at all times to attract customers. He also brings up the "if a blind man can do it, anyone can" situation.
Chapter 9
Religion is a very big part of Hingson's life. As most everything in his life, his interest in religion has developed from conversations with his father. The metaphor means a lot to Hingson as he sees himself as the Shepard with the staff, and his guide dog as his beloved sheep him will go to the ends of the world to protect.
Chapter 7
ReplyDeleteNew technology for blind people includes an electronic braille writer and a machine that reads text outloud. Hingson had the opportunity to work with the machines inventor, Raymond Kurzweil, and even contributed ideas for the machine such as keys with special functions.
Chapter 8
A negative aspect is that companies would not hire Hingson just because he was blind. A way his blindness had been an aid in his career is that by working with customers, it gave them a sense that if a blind man could do it, so could they. Having his guide dogs also helped people be more open and friendly.
Chapter 9
Hingson has always been a man of God and describes his faith as a friendship with God. Not only does he talk to God through prayer but he also makes sure he listens to what God has to say. The shepherd and sheep image relates to Michael because just how God loves and guides His people, he leads and loves Roselle.
7. Some of these changing technologies are electronic braille readers that have became smaller and less expensive. It is also possible to get this technology on cell phones now which makes it very convenient for blind people. Hingson played a role is this technology by helping sell the technology and providing ideas like changing the color of the text to make machines be able to read more text at one time.
ReplyDelete8. One of the helping factors of Hingson's blindness in his professional career is that it shows his clients how easy the product is to use. If a blind person can use it, they get the feeling that it will be much easier for them to use. It hindered his professional career by not being able to obtain certain jobs.
9.Religion plays a major role in the author's life. Hingson enjoys talking to god and also likes to listen what god has to say. The shepherd and the sheep has a significance to him because the shepherd must take care of his sheep and guide them in life. The sheep also help out the shepherd, just like Roselle and Hingson.
Chapter 7
ReplyDeleteTaking photos of texts and having a program decipher it has allowed Hingson as well as many others to be able to read menus or flyers. He helped when machines like this were first starting being made. He trained people on how to use them. The advancements like the gps that he uses allowed him to be able to fly a plane blind.
Chapter 8
When Hingson would demonstrate how to use a product, the buyers would be surprised to see that a blind man could use it so easily. It helped him to make many sales. Although, many companies did not want to hire him because he was blind. When the employers would find out he was blind, they would cancel interviews with him
Chapter 9
Hingson is a very religious man. He has always known and trusted God. He feels that him and Roselle are like the Shepherd and sheep. He is the shepherd that that guides Roselle his sheep. Roselle had to learn to trust him as the sheep have to trust the shepherd. He keeps Roselle safe just as she keeps him safe.
Chapter 7
ReplyDeleteA great advancement in technology that has helped the blind has been text-to-voice programs, which can scan and read anything from mail to menus out loud for the visually-impared. Right after college, Hingson was hired to work with Ray Kurzweil, an inventor who was making much of this technology possible. Hingson helped make the machine more user-friendly, inventing the "nominator" key and "contrast" control.
Chapter 8
Hingson's blindness has prevented him from getting some jobs, since the unemployment rate of the visually-impared is so high and many companies refuse to hire blind employees. However, his blindness has also given him an advantage in sales. When he explains how to use the software to a customer, it gives them a sense of "if he can do it, I certainly should be able to." Having Roselle also lightens the sales atmosphere and even customers who aren't interested will hesitate to be rude.
Chapter 9
Hingson's father was very religious. In fourth grade, Hingson came home and found that his father had purchased the entire King James Version of the Bible in Braille. He has also found comfort in knowing that God is working in his life. Hingson believes that his relationship with Roselle is similar to that of the sheep and the shepard. The sheep must trust that the shepard will take care of it and make good chioces, and the shepard must fulfill that responsibility in order to reap the benefits of owning the sheep. Roselle and Hingson are a team. Hingson provides for Roselle's needs and comforts her when she is afraid, and in return she does her job well.
Chapter Seven:
ReplyDeleteMany technological advancements came about during Hingson's life that were great assets to the visually impared. There is Kurzweil's text-to-speech machine, once the size of a washing machine, and now Hingson has on his smartphone to photograph anything in most any font. The various tactile displays that give him access to many handheld devices. There is also a GPS device which Hingson can use in conjunction with another device to know his global position (so he uses it to fly a plane). Hingson was important in the developement and implimentation of many different technologies by being a vocal member of the blind community and always striving for the betterment of his surroundings. His purchasing of many of these devices funds the developers and he also acted as a sales rep, getting others to buy them.
Chapter Eight:
Hingson's blindness forces him to make adjustments in his life that the sighted don't require. In his professional life, he has found it to be both a help and a hinderance. One of the largest problems he faced was in potential employers turning him down for a position he was totally qualified for. A positive would be how he is often able to get into customers' heads about what they really wanted, not to mention how he could sometimes use his dog at conventions to slyly lure crowds to his booth.
Chapter Nine:
Religion played a large part in his life growing up. He studied Christianity religiously (heh) and often had long philosophical talks with his dad about the nature of life and God and such. His fervor for religion also carried on to his adulthood, as seen by the five feet of bookshelf space taken by his braile copy of the king James Bible. In reference to his feelings about the sheep/shepard dynamic often seen in Christianity, he has a special connection to it; he feels himself to be his dog's Shepard. in return for caring for and loving his dogs, they protect him.
Chapter 7--
ReplyDeleteThere was a printer/scanner invented for the blind. This specific machine scanned materials that blind people weren't capable of reading and was actually changed into braille, making it a whole lot easier for them to comprehend specific pieces. The GPS device was made to give directions to anyone who would have a complicating time trying to find a designated area at a specific time. These few devices created an impact on Hingson's life, helping him get by with day to day events.
Chapter 8--
Due to the fact that Michael was blind all of his life, there were times where he was unable to get a specific job because most interviewers would assume that because you weren't capable of seeing, you would not succeed the way that they want you to in a specific task or job. Although good things do come from his disability. He was able to get down into the heads of other people and actually know how they thought or even about what they really wanted. Also, having a guide dog lured attention to his booth when his company traveled to gain more business.
Chapter 9--
Michael has always had a large impact with religion growing up. Although, when he was running from the fumes and debris of tower 2, his belief in God had increased whenever he was spoken to. The Shepard and Sheep analogy comes into play with his life because he sees himself as a guidance for Roselle. His connection with this analogy is a large impact in his life because this has strengthened him in every possible way whenever it comes to danger or any regular situation.
Chapter Seven
ReplyDeleteSome technology that Hingson has used has been Braille writers, talking smart phones, the K-NFB Reader (which reads email), and "talking books". The K-NFB Reader and talking smart phones are decedents of Raymond Kurzweil's omni-font optical character recognition system. Hingson was able to work with Kurzweil just out of college and helped to come up with concepts such as the "nominator" key and the "Contrast" control.
Chapter Eight
While Hingson's blindness has been a hindrance in situations such a job-hunting (in many cases he was flat-out refused due to his blindness), once he had a job in sales he inadvertently realized that his blindness made customers come over to him, stay longer, and feel badly for him, all of which helped with his sales (although he didn't like to purposefully use that method of sales).
Chapter Nine
Hingson has always been very religious, and was raised by an equally religious father. He prays to God, and believes that God answers (as shown when he's running from the falling building).

Chapter 8:
Throughout Hingson's profesional career, his blindness has been both a help and a hindrance. It has proven to be helpful when he takes customers through the steps of working a product because it makes the product seem a lot easier to use.
