the USE of ASL might fade away in 100 years because of technology eliminating deafness
Maybe, but mankind has never been able to get rid of disabilty. Diseases, yeah....disabilties no.
And Angel is right. There are a host of non aural disablities which use ASL as a communication system. It's most popular with MR kids, but its also slowly growing, that kids with apraxia, tracheostomies etc use asl.
