But what you told him is not true. ASL isn't superior to using cochlear implants
Oh yes it is. Very much so.it can be used in more enviroments, it doesnt need any arrificial power, no maintinence, no doctors, no drills, no wires, it costs almost nothing.to aquire save your effort and time...doesnt need.to be replaed. It is very much a superior technology. In every way shape and form.
because no wires or drilling is involved. Wires and drilling and artificial equipment are involved in lots of other surgical procedures such as dentistry/implants/braces; hip/knee replacements; spinal surgery; helping fractures to heal, etc. That's modern medicine, not "robot dreams" or messiah technology." Your statements verge on the ridiculous.
All those other surgicsl procedures you mention sre not targeting deaf babies to change them into hesring onea, and strip them of there culture by denying them their language. Sign.
Tell you what. The minute mutlinational cochlear inplant.conpanies stop targeting deaf babies with there frankensien tech, will be the minute i shut up about sign bieng a superior technology and how signwill indeed set you free?
i wouldnt hold your breath..
bSure, the problems he's having don't exist with ASL, but ASL isn't going to help him communicate with 99% of the population who doesn't know ASL, and that's a huge problem. Learning ASL doesn't help people who need to be able to communicate with the vast majority of other people. Learning ASL is going to be completely useless to someone if no one around them also knows that language.
Has worked for me just fine....deafies are all over, further now with the net and cell phones its allot easier. i dont buy your b.s. all it is is frankly bieng lazy..
b I could start learning Russian today, but you know why I don't? Because I don't know anyone else who speaks Russian. My family doesn't speak it, and neither does anyone else I communicate with on a daily basis. Learning ASL for most hoh people or late-deafened people is about as useful as learning any other language that almost no one around them uses.
You can find peoplw who use asl. We are all over, once you learn it yiu csn teach others arouns you. oh that. Too much effort i Get it.
Cant you see its not just about the end user. Cochlear implants are not just about if you can listen to ozzy osborn and have a good time. For every succsesfull implant, that money goes into companies who.are pushing these things on deaf babies, by cohersion and in even some nations governments r now forcing them. Along with this these companies.push that these babies do not get exposed to sign sobthey do not revert back to bieng deaf. Your just comminf across as a first world person un aware or not concerned that others r greatly effected by oir neat fancy toys...most of which come from awful womrring conditions. But as long as the first world gets our kicks...who the the hell cares right. As long as you can hear, deaf babies and sign be damned.
Got it.
You need to become aware there is . History with this techbology. Yiu need to be aware for every succsesfull implant and maricle stories, there is one less baby being exposes to sign, our language, our culture is direcly effected in a negative way by your support of these things. Then again no suprise. These multinational companies Come. by it honesty. We deaf are looked as defective. In need of a cure. So every dsmn chance i get, ill offer the bwtter technology...oir sign
ASL is a great language for Deaf people to use to communicate with other Deaf people, or for hearing people to use to communicate with the Deaf people in their lives, but in my experience it's useless for just about everyone else. That's just reality.
Hearie have used it its for everyone. its just allot more money in drilling holes in babies heads then.in promoting the superior technology
