-- a big risk with Google Glass?
The Google Glass is capable of showing movie
captions for the benefit of the deaf user.
But it carries a risk! A hearing user of Google
Glass at a Ohio movie house (he wasn't watching
captions) was pulled out by the FBI and questioned
for three hours, thinking he may be a spy. After
three hours, the FBI decided he did nothing wrong
and let him go. What if - in the future - at a
different movie house, a deaf person was using
Google Glass to watch captions? Would the FBI
arrest him, thinking Google Glass was helping him
spy something?
-- the best deaf chef in Toronto
Quinn Cruise, a young deaf woman, is a chef,
specializing in Asian food. Her favorite
dish is Japanese hamburger bowl. She can also
do Italian dishes. Even though she graduated
from a collegiate culinary program, no one would
hire her because of her deafness. Not giving up,
she continued to look and finally found a
job as a chef at a Toronto restaurant.
-- loving the freezing weather
Do people love the freezing weather? Well,
Richard, a deaf man, loves it (his last name
is not known). His job is to wear a costume all
day in front of a tax preparation business
in Waltham, MA, trying to attract people that
need to get their taxes done. Is it cruel
for him? Richard said no. He was thrilled when
the tax preparation business owner offered him
the job. Yes, he wears enough clothes to keep
himself warm in freezing weather.
