-- the deaf in the Super Bowl week
Every year we almost always find the deaf during the
Super Bowl week - a player or ASL singer or
whatever. Here is a picture of the deaf in this
coming Super Bowl week:

-- text kiosk for deaf travelers
As always, when a deaf person travels, transportation
terminals can be confusing and scary. And even with
maps and GPS it can be an ordeal trying to find
a hotel you made reservations for. A high tech
company in Japan is developing a voice multi-language
kiosk to help travelers at terminals. This kiosk
has a special button that will convert voice to text
for the benefit of deaf travelers. Hope this works.
-- a small reason for Walmart's problems
There is a small reason for Walmart's problems. A
deaf person stopped shopping at Walmart because
of problems communicating with employees that
don't speak English, and an English-speaking
employee is nowhere to be found. As a result,
this deaf person is shopping elsewhere.
