This is a different kind of Patch blog ... an audio recording. In this 52-second post I discuss the power of the human voice and how there's still no substitute for it.
I welcome your feedback on this different blog format.

I see the point you are making. However, technology today enables those deaf or hearing impaired to see and absorb the writtten words as never before, as could not be expressed with sign language, for that matter. Maybe sacrificing some emotion for clearer content. In today's society there is much to be gained by the newest and latest and greatest, never losing sight of the tried and true.

Charlene ... No doubt technology should be used to its fullest to improve communication for the hearing impaired. In much the same way, sound technology is allowing the vision impaired to communicate in new and exciting ways. Thanks for your comment!

Yes. We must thank those who fought for the Americans with Disabilities Act; appreciate the importance of access in many new and uncharted ways juxtoposed with the "tried and true." The power of people to do good, for the benefit of others, equality and quality. Thank you for the dialogue. Charlene Sasso, CSR, RPR StenoTech Career Institute
