What is it like to be deaf in 2013

What is it like to be deaf adult in 2013 was it better than it was 10 years ago? yes it is because of technology really break many barrier for all deaf population. Specially with mobile smartphone can bring us to equally access with our hearing friend through texting or any mega social center like Facebook or twitters, etc..  10 year ago we need to use 3rd person like relay service to reach hearing people but now we don't need to use relay and make hearing people feel uncomfortable to use 3rd person. I couldnt wait to see what the future have in hold for me and other deaf people, will we evenually finally catch up with hearing people perfectly, because at this moment hearing people are ahead of us with bluetooth where they can talk on phone handfree and can post a voice message on their phone to make any kind command like find the place instead have to type the information in or set a planner through voice command. Will it get better for deaf people in the future?

Any new deaf film and any deaf theatre?

I just brought one new deaf film "I Love You" by Japanese. I was wondering if there is any new deaf film that are releasing in past 5 years.... is there a website where they do keep up with all deaf film up to today? But I have other question is there any new coming deaf film around the corner? I am curious if anyone one know when will mossduex start selling their films? I would like to buy them and start gather them.

I would like to know what are all list of deaf theater in America, I know there is 3 NTD, West Theater, and Illuminations Theater in Houston, but is there anymore?

sorry if I ask too much question... *smile*

When did deaf history really start?

I was wondering when was deafness was first document in history? When did our deaf world real begin? I would like to start collect all information on that and put them all together and keep add update with it.. same with all deaf film or home film that is made by deaf person or people. Keep them all together for future. We can pass those values of deafness to our future. Our deaf world is not like few hundred years ago. Where all deaf people are shamed to speak in public or stuck to stay hide and build up a private club. Anyway back to my question.."When did deaf history really start?" Before Clerc and Thomas Gallaudet? America deaf history probably start with those 2 men. But When did they really start document about deaf for first time in history in whole world? In bible? When Jesus Christ healed deaf man?...I am open to a discussion

TheCross

I am curious what does the cross mean to you? The picture of cross... I would like to collect all answers. It can be same answer or different. I want to see what everyone think of Cross.

You can build the Future

I am curious... Which phone company.. Will make a video phone on cell phone? I know there is V-Pad... But its depend on wireless router.. Not like mobile phone. I am sure most of you already saw movie "star war" when they try communation through visual wave... They can talk and see eachother.. Or be at the meeting through that visual communation phone. When will they make it enable for us in realityqq

Deaf Film

I am curious if anyone can tell me all the list of Deaf Film... like Children of lesser God , any film with deafness or sign language in it... I would like to know the complete list.. so that way I can keep it in file... and add up more movies over years.... and hopefully make its a deaf film collection.. I know there is Deaffilm by sprint relay.. they can have their collection sets and mosedeux can have their collection sets too
