Deaf OverPower other senses?

Posted by chillygurlz on February 13, 2008

 

Hello all… I have a question for you all, I wondered cuz of our missing hearing sense,is your vision, or sense of smell or taste a lot stronger? For me, my vision and my sense of taste is a lot stronger, I can see things like a hawk, I notice things quickly. I can also sense things happening around me like if someone got hurt near by, like example, last week, out neighbor, who is a older lady about late 70s, she was walking down the grass on her lawn to get her flowers, I was just coming out of my back door of the house, I don’t see her house very well cuz of fence, unless I go to her house, I was just going to mailbox, before I did that, I had a odd feeling that something was wrong so I looked around and spotted the older lady kneeling on ground at her front lawn so I went to check on her, she did need help. Did u know, I have no sense of smell at all, all my life but I do have sense of taste. I call my nose deaf and my tongue and eyes hearing lol. Oh yes I have sense of touch and feeling. So how about you all? Which of 5 senses are the strongest for u? Feel free to leave a comment… Thanks…

Aren’t we glad Internet exist today?

Posted by chillygurlz on February 13, 2008

Hello all… Hope you had a wonderful valentine week… Today topic is “is internet helpful today?”… I am just sharing my opinions. Of course I think it is very helpful today to have internet. Its good for communication, researching information, learning new information, we can find everything, more then we can imagine. E-mails are wonderful and its free or cheaper. Quicker then the postal office, (sorry postal office snail mail). Cool website like myspace.com, facebook.com, we can google up people and find our old friends. Internet is just like library, but we should still go to the library building once a while cuz librarians like to be appreciated. Feel free to share ur opinions with me in the comments.

I now share my opinion about cons of Internet. Being hooked onto the internet for very long period of times is one, course I am kinda hooked onto the internet and a lot of people are. Understand, its better then being hooked onto drugs, gambling, drinking and smoking. Its not always good to be hooked onto the internet cuz then u miss out ur family events or ur friends or outside activity. Cyberbullies is other thing. All of us, especially kids have to be careful when talking to new people on internet, we don’t know. Some of the people we talk to could be someone else they say they are like a 40 year old pretend to be a 12 year old kid. We also have to be careful about what personal information we give out on any websites or anyone we don’t know. So what your opinions about the cons of internet?

I have a question for you all… What do u think would happen if internet would be shut down, we cannot use the internet for a week? I think some people will either, go crazy or there would be a riot, or some people would be overjoyed, happy cuz it means they can get the family together and go out and have fun. Hang out with friends outside more. I would think people would be outside more if there was no internet for a week. I know there are some families who might have one or two person who is always on the computer, seems like never really interact with the family or outside friends. Some people just need to learn to balance out their time on the internet and family / friend time, that also makes everyone happy too.

Internet is also wonderful for us who are deaf too, especially with communication, IP-relay, vlogging, expressions, and more… So feel free to share ur comments, opinions on my comment box… Thanks for watching my vlog…
