-- using a CI as a weapon
Could the CI be used as a weapon to fight off
criminals? In real life, no; in fantasy life,
yes - as Hartley Rathaway (or known as the
Pied Piper) in the Flash story, took off his
CI when criminals wanted to fight him. A strong
noise from the CI overwhelmed them!
-- the reason many deaf videos do not have captions
We have software that will convert voice to captions
but quality of captions is bad. Also many signed
videos also do not have captions. Why? Several
signed-videos captioners told DeafDigest editor
that it takes approximately 20 minutes to
caption just one video minute! Plus another
20 minutes to edit the captions and also to
fix the background colors. It is so time
consuming.
-- a surprise discrimination against a deaf person
A deaf man wanted to convert his prepaid card to
a poker account in order to play poker. The casino
told him he needed an ID number but refused to give
it to him through a video relay. They said it is
for reasons of privacy and security. The deaf man is
very angry about it and is thinking of a lawsuit on
grounds of discrimination.
