TED SUMMARY Christine Sun Kim: The Enchanting Music of Sign Language

In this TED video, she explains how “through her art, she discovered similarities between American Sign Language and music, and she realized that sound doesn’t have to be known solely through the ears, it can be felt, seen and experienced as an idea.” She share a little bit   about the history of American Sign Language, ASL,   plus a bit of her own background.   French sign language was brought to America during the early 1800s,   and as time went by, mixed with local signs,   it evolved into the language we know today as ASL.   So it has a history of about 200 years.

TED SUMMARY Jhon McWhorter: Txtng is killing language. JK!!!

TED SUMMARY Jhon McWhorter: Txtng is killing language. JK!!! Technology is so ingrained in today’s society that to the younger generations, texting shorthand and having conversations without verbally speaking is the norm. Words like “LOL” and “hashtag” are so common, that one can not only see it being used in texting, but also in everyday speech.

JK!!!” brings to light a whole new understanding of this supposed decline of literacy.
