I'm happy about the time Im living in now because years ago, we did not have tty, closed caption, pagers, vp-100, were not allowed to drive, were not allowed to adopt children, etc. Some deaf people were put in mental institute or were thought of as demons inside of us that we needed to be exorcized, etc. The deaf people were banished from society many years ago. Look at us now....we have all those wonderful technologies that enabled us to be more indepedent. We have deaf colleges, interpreted classes in hearing college...there's so much out there now. smile
