Just ONE of your Tools! ”iPods and iPads are the Swiss Army Knives of assistive technology. Convenient, portable, multi-purpose, a Swiss Army Knife is perfect for some situations that arise in the field. But will it really suffice for all your day-to-day cutlery needs? Can it replace all your food preparation tools? With it, aside from cutting up a few vegetables or opening a can of soup, can you teach someone to be a cook? Worse yet, who remodeling a kitchen would refuse space for kitchen drawers or cabinets, citing the Swiss army knife as the all-in-one utensil?"
