Well yes and no. ASL is not simply a transliteration of English though. It also has it's own syntax and grammatical quirks which means that for anything other than a very simple 'sentence' or one specifically designed to avoid pitfalls you're not going to get anything a lot better than a Google translation of a Google translation. And we know how those work out ...

That's brilliant. I stayed on to listen to the Adele - a considerable improvement on the original. I think I'm in love!

Why did no-one think of this before? Of the thousands of ideas out there for helping the deaf to communicate effectively with the hearing, this has to be the most obvious and useful.

you would notice that:
- everything is touch screen and mouse is a history to them
- Windows is hard for them to use
- No need to type, just use google voice recognition to search for what they want
- damaged TV - since they are so used to touch screen, and would just use the remote control to hit the TV screen when they found that it's not responsive to touch

Nope. Mine find it easy enough..jpg wrote: No need to type, just use google voice recognition to search for what they want
Err no - they almost never use voice input..jpg wrote: damaged TV - since they are so used to touch screen, and would just use the remote control to hit the TV screen when they found that it's not responsive to touch
Again, no. They (and most of their friends judging by the way my house is taken over when they come over) have no problems with remote controls.
That's the problem with lists like this. They make great little "soundbites" but they really don't stand up to too much scrutiny.

I don't have children, but I don't believe any of them are true either.
But somebody seemed to like it, because somebody upvoted it...

I totally believed the post until you posted your reply. Thanks for debunking it.

I wonder how old (or young!) the OP's kids are. I expect his observations are skewed by their age.

I have kids and what I've found is that when asked who your "favourite child" is, you're expected to pick from one of your own.

LOL 
How about "None of the above?" 
Actually, that sounds quite funny. If I HAD had children, I would secretly have pulled each of them aside, one at a time, and whispered to them: "You're my favourite child", and then sat back with a cold one to watch the show...

I have 8 year old daughter and I can say, it doesn't hold true at least in my household.

She is so great with mspaint and uses mouse effectively
.jpg wrote: Windows is hard for them to use
She uses is with ease at least for what she wants.
.jpg wrote: No need to type, just use google voice recognition to search for what they want
Wrong again, She actually types to search and uses voice search only to show me how stupid it is because It doesn't understand her.
.jpg wrote: damaged TV - since they are so used to touch screen, and would just use the remote control to hit the TV screen when they found that it's not responsive to touch
That's so wrong in all level. She is the boss and uses it effectively. She has patience to type in youtube search via tv remote.
cheers,
Super

I have no children, so I most certainly cannot comment on the validity of those statements.
However, I will admit to touching laptop monitors to test whether they're touch-screen. Sometimes it's fun to do it to someone else's laptop, even when you know it isn't touch-screen.

Considering the obvious result of your child-rearing skills, I can heartily suggest sterilization A.S.A.P. For the benefit of the species and all that.
It is also advised that your ask your spawn to embrace negative population growth, as well, lest the genetic material that produced such shining examples of ***** manage to propagate.

It's funny how many people are taking this as actual claimed facts instead of just your own observations. Some people just love to argue.

Yes it did.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
