Having reached out to the Verizon Corporation about my wish to promote cellular services to the blind community, I was paired up with Velasense Company, a third-party company that displayed cell phone information in a larger font size and in a different layout. I was interested in comparing Verizon's service coverage to see how well its' service truly was.

Coming from having had a long history of using DOS [Disc Operating Systems] in their Personal Computer environment, I found it to be vary comfortale learning about Sansun's link to services provided through Google and through the Android software. It is through Google's association with the Android line of cell phones that many of the Galaxy 6's features are downloaded into the phone's inner operations. Each applicaion is represented by a widget image on its' screen. As one widget was ovrelayed on top of another widget, they were placed in a common area [simlar to s subdirectory] allowing the user to assign a lable to this common area. Grouping common apps proved to be an affective way for managing the many apps a Smart Phone could hold.

On August 29, 2015 I flew to the east coast to photograph the cities of Boston, Massachusetts and Washington, DC. Unlike my much older Nokia cell phone, the Samsung Galaxy 6 Smart Phone offered me the convenience of surfing the Internet and the viewing of video applications, but it eats up a cell phone battery at a faster rate. Energy conservation needs to be the focus point when using this cell phone, but it can work without much effort.

Initially, the greatest amount of time will be spent in populating the contact list. As was learning more about the phone's features I would progressively build up this list. I was excited to discover the full extent and potential to the many different services available through the Internet. When I embarked on my next trip to San Francisco, Calfornia, September 25, 2015, I came across a situation where the phone was not allowing me to access the Internet. In the past it had been possible to reset the phone through their Factory Reset function, but when I tried to use this technique for realligning the cell phone's original settings, I discovered an additional wrinkle that Samsung added that proved to make phone unusable. If you use the Factory Reset feature to Android Galaxy S6 Smart Phone, the phone may react as if the phone had been stolen and restrict all of its' applications.
