You’re so deep in your conversation, like we’re not stuck in the dark ages. The fact that it's in the same line as dumb, you gotta put let us know what you mean. Its a subliminal stereotype that bites me. What’s wrong with you, you deaf or dumb? It's an oft-uttered phrase. Like the reason you didn’t understand can’t be attributed to the lack of paying attention. So Im sitting here, watching my smart tv without the captions wondering if they will ever understand the differenceĭeaf and dumb. Sharp, pixelated images has nothing to do with the ability to hear. It's so smart that the moment the HDMI cord marks the moment of completion, they never considered the hi def to to be as important as the captions are to the deaf. Smart t.v.s and their hi def and their apps and music. It’s a work in progress that seems to work 0% of the time. Thank you Youtube for “speech-to-text” captions. Thank you technology for granting me access. I’m in between, your words I need to see, the sounds I need to feel, the residual hearing gives me a taste of the message you want to convey to me. Either/or, your topics are all in the gray, yet I can only be deaf or hearing you say? To me, you’re saying either I hear, or don’t hear. But for some reason, I can’t hear the video and read the captions at the same time. I can watch it with accurate, in sync captions. Buzzfeed seems to be becoming more accessible to the D/HH community.
