iPhone 4: FaceTime - video signing for the deaf built-in | PCMag.com - 0 views
-
Steve Jobs also delivered a trademark "one more thing" at this year's WWDC. This time out, it was a new telephony product called FaceTime. There have already been various attempts at this, including the HTC Evo's front-facing camera and third-party video conferencing aps, but FaceTime presents the most user-friendly application of the technology. There is no set up, and it is fully integrated into the OS, making it extremely simple to use.
-
I want to highlight something that was touched upon in the FaceTime video shown at the WWDC. Not much been written about it, but the example shown had a powerful message to a specific community. I grew up in a home with a blind grandmother. The telephone was one of the bright spots in her life. She could not see, but she could speak and hear things like Books for the Blind, which in those days were delivered on vinyl records. She also spoke to family and friends on the phone. Those conversations were very important to her.
-
However, for the deaf community, the telephone has no meaning. They can't just pick up the phone and talk to friends and family. Only recently has the cell phone become an important communication tool for them—texting has been a godsend. Face-to-face, they use sign language and facial expressions to communicate. The Apple video demonstrated showed a deaf couple signing to each other from separate locations.
Parent Advice - Talking About "Sexting" - Common Sense Media - 0 views
-
Nearly one-sixth of teens who own cell phones have received nude or nearly nude images via text message from someone they know, according to a recent survey on "sexting" from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. When people take sexually revealing pictures of themselves and send them as text message attachments, it's called "sexting." Recently the practice has been increasing exponentially. There are many examples of teens taking revealing photos or videos of themselves and having those images end up in the wrong hands. A parent handout providing advice about talking with your teen about sexting is available on the Common Sense Media
