Lesson 6 Video

-Around 100 years ago, sign language was prohibited until the early 1970's
- It sees many people have different views on what the child should do. Some seem to think their are only two choices, you either learn oral or sign. But, I don't see why they couldn't learn both.
-Some people believe hat if you learn sign you have a vocabulary basis to learn nglish. I agree with this thought because when learning english a deaf person is more visual so it would be very difficult.

Campbell the co-founder and CEO of Motion Savvy, has created a genius product that interprets sign language and translates it into words for someone who is hearing. It can also do the reverse! He came up with this invention to create more jobs for def people. His thought was that if he could help deaf people get past the interview stage that would help many of them. It is estimated that about half the population of deaf people are unemployed.

Campbells invention costs about $799 plus a $20 subscription to sign builder. The first 200 testers however, will be able to purchase the item for around $500. His invention is not perfect yet it still has many bumps in the road to go through. It is likely that we will see this within the next 10- 20 years bump free. His invention could be used for much more than just interviews.  It could interpret orders when your out to eat, conversations with a friend and so much more. The possibilities are endless.

I chose this article because when I saw it I was really interested and curious to see how the new product works. It was a very interesting article, but I was a bit disappointed by a few things. I had come into the article expecting a finished product for a reasonable price, however this was not the case. The price is through the roof for a product that is more than incomplete. The deaf community would be the ones coming up with the signs and uploading it into the interface, doing all the work and also paying the price. I feel that this product is not currently worth the money, but I hope that in the future the owners will adjust that and improve the product.
