I agree with you completely. People don't realize how much captioning can benefit even the hearing. They won't even take the time to experience it. It's just, "Turn that off! It bothers me!"

Put open captioning up and I would almost guarantee that literacy would improve. You can't force a kid to sit down and read a book, but put the captioning on a movie, and they will be reading it without even realizing they are.

This device may be interesting, but it's actual use will be very limited.
