Since medicine and technology is advancing do you think there will be a time that the deaf world would lose some of it's culture.

Culture always change every time new technologies come aboard. That is the norm of any cultures and not just Deaf Cultures.

I hope we don't need to change our Deaf Culture. We are trying hard enough to keep our Deaf communities alive, now that we have computers and smartphones. Things change, yes. This is what hearing people want so bad to destroy our Deaf life including other disability people. We all are not happy the way we have gone through ordeals putting down our throats just to please them.

I do not see how technology will destroy Deaf culture it should made it easier to be able communicate to hearing people to made appointments etc . You can still use ASL to talk to your friends etc. We'll be able to text
911 for ER and will be life saver for people that are deaf and live alone.
