-- captions on these 4K UHD TV sets?
Are the 4K UHD video screens our TV sets of the future?
Captions? Yes and no! Yes, because captions can be done.
No, because number of captioning providers may be too
few. Also, if not enough 4K programs, then people may
not buy these 4K UHD TV sets. Same problem with
3D TV which flopped!
-- ASL during Super Bowl?
Famous actress Amber Zion will sign in ASL the National
Anthem at the Super Bowl. Great? Well, in the past
our ASL signers have been hidden from the screen.
We will see what happens. Anyway, Amber Zion is a
graduate of Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf
that moved to Hollywood and made it great! Her maiden
name while at the school was Stanton.
-- Deaf teacher wins $50,000 because of no interpreter
Teacher Kamaldeen Alabi is deaf and taught math at a
public school in Atlanta, GA. He had an interpreter with
him in the classroom. Then the Atlanta Public Schools
stopped providing him with an interpreter because it
was expensive. He was transferred to another school
that had deaf students in his classes, thus no need
for an interpreter. Angry, he filed a lawsuit and
won $50,000.
