聴覚障害者がyoutubeをコミュニケーションに使う

聴覚障害者がyoutubeをコミュニケーションに使っている。聴覚障害者にとってサイン・ランゲージは第一位に自由に使いこなせる言葉であり、youtubeは彼ら同士のコミュニケーション・チャンネルとなっているようだ。

Why did it not occur to me that the signing deaf would be using YouTube as a public forum? This is transformational. Many of them aren't comfortably fluent in written language. For many more, sign is and always will be their first language. YouTube gives them an easy, expressive, unmediated channel for many-to-many communication.I wandered into this via YouTube's "related videos" feature, from Eddie Izzard doing standup, to David Armand's partly-signed Karaoke for the Deaf. The deaf video universe opened out from there.
