Do you think the "Deaf culture" will still be there in the future when the CI technology has been growing so fast? I am not talking about hearing aids.
I am not talking about using the special devices such as alarm clock or with technology thingy. I am talking about the Deaf culture that we Deaf have Deaf history, Deaf belief, and facial expressions. For example, we Deaf end up get together chatting in the kitchen, not in the living room or We Deaf have our own facial expression that hearing people don't have it. We feel connected when it comes to the Deaf culture in general.
I do not know each of you. I have my own experience that i do cherish the Deaf culture. I have so many memories about the Deaf culture. Every time, i went to sleep over my friends home and they have Deaf parents. My friends' Deaf parents had always have company. I noticed that Deaf Adult peeps (remind you that i was only 12 yrs old) that they always tell lots of Deaf jokes, Deaf stories, Deaf history and Deaf ways. When I was a kid, I did not have been interacted with hearing adult peeps that they usually tell us as kids, go to our things to play. But Deaf Adult peeps usually greets first, and tell Deaf jokes or stories for about an hour then they let us go and do our things. I never forget the special moment times with Older Deaf peeps like i forget that they were old. I really thank to older Deaf peeps who had always have time for strange deaf kids and their hilarious Deaf jokes.
think the Deaf culture would still be there? yes we would use ASL forever with no question, but Deaf culture? :shrug:
