[Mac-BR] podem surdo-mudos se beneficiar do facetime!!!!

[Fernando Araujo Leiria]

However, for the deaf community, the telephone has no meaning. They can't just pick up the phone and talk to friends and family. Only recently has the cell phone become an important communication tool for them—texting has been a godsend. Face-to-face, they use sign language and facial expressions to communicate. The Apple video demonstrated showed a deaf couple signing to each other from separate locations. 

When the image came on screen, people next to me got choked up. This was a powerful image for the deaf community that said, "we are giving you a new way to communicate with friends and family from afar." I spoke with someone who teaches the deaf. They were extremely excited about this feature. It will add a whole new dimension to their personal communications.

Don't underestimate how important something like FaceTime will be for the deaf community. Sure programs like iChat and Skype video exist for the PC, but this technology on a mobile platform can give users a powerful new way to communicate with people all the time. 

After the video was shown, Jobs took the stage to thank everyone for coming. He then ended the event getting a bit choked up himself as he said, "this reminds us of why we do what we do."
