今天在網路上不經意看到了一篇分享部落格短文的訊息，描述的是一位盲人在部落格上發表了一篇文章(他怎麼註冊的啊？)，述說他買了一支iPhone，而這個小東西是如何在他長久以來眼盲的這段日子後帶來多大的驚喜，他也提到了自己的人生在買到了iPhone後的24小時內發生了巨大的改變，並分享了兩個小故事：一是在銷售iPhone的零售店中，眼盲者的媽媽看到自己的小孩用iPhone收到她送出的短訊，並可以聽到內容時，幾乎驚訝的喜極而泣：另一個感人的故事則是一位聾人透過Facetime對自己的女友唱歌。
試想，如果今天因為買了一個產品而帶來了足以讓你受用一生的驚喜，你會有多麼對這家公司死心踏地？
如文末所言，Steve Jobs最讓人稱羨的應該不是他的身價，而是足以帶給每一個小人物改變自己一生的能力，這才是最令人欽佩歌頌的。

Apple Changes a Blind Man’s Life
SEPTEMBER 25, 2010 BY DARREN BECKETT LEAVE A COMMENT
I just finished reading a blog written by a blind person. This blogger, Austin Seraphin, bought an iPhone. I was amazed. The entire device is designed specifically to have as few buttons as possible. Yet Austin describes it as “the greatest thing to happen to the blind for a very long time, possibly ever.” He also added that it changed his life in 24 hours. Those are two powerful statements about something as simple as a phone.
Austin describes his experience at the AT&T store, purchasing the phone:
I continued to excitedly ask questions, as did my Mom. “Can he get text messages on this?” she asked. “Well, yes, but it doesn’t read the message.” the salesman said. Mom’s hopes sunk, but mine didn’t, since I understood the software enough. “Well, let’s see, try it.” I suggested. She pulled out her phone, and sent me a text message. Within seconds, my phone alerted me, and said her name. I simply swiped my finger and it read her message: Hi Austin. She almost cried.
Heck, I never even met this guy and I almost cried. (Then again I about teared up when Apple showed the deaf guy signing to his girlfriend over FaceTime.)
I’m rather jealous of Steve Jobs. Not just jealous of his money, but the ability to dramatically impact this one person’s life. That’s huge. At the end of the day being able to say, “This is something I was able to do.”
Good job Apple, good job.
