I'm always available, and might even remember the names of some of the little bloomy things, whatchacallem--flowers, yeah. If I don't remember, I know enough Latin to concoct a convincing scientific name, and then ad lib the common name, and move along.
I will say more about identification APPs in the next part of this sequence, I think.
I love those apps!! My favorite now is Merlin Bird ID, that will listen to your recording of birdsong and tell you who is singing! I Naturalist is great for identifying all living things, fungi, lichens, too.
Love it, Fred! One problem though in identifying plants by phone is if one is hiking too far from a cell tower! It’s also more fun to have experts like you come along!
Knowledge is POWER. What an eye opener that fact will be for vast multitudes around the globe. Those that HAVE the power will do all they can to keep those under them from gaining all truth. Individuals will hold a cell phone in their hand and remain ignorant simply because they do not understand that tool's potential. You, yourself admitted to being surprised when your own phone KNEW exactly what you were showing it. Tools to help us are everywhere, but no one person could possibly understand how to use all of them. Even with hand-held computers available to us, who has the time or the desire to learn. That's why we must find a means of liberating ourselves to learn what we need to use to gain the information we need to live our lives with understood purpose.
