technology - deaf - changed since 1985!

These are the technology that most deaf people use, it is changing fast now. As we now use mobile sms messages all the time, before the mobile and internet came out we had to go to deaf club to meet friends and find out what events were happening also relied on British Deaf News, which we still use today. But now deaf club is not a place to meet as we communicate via email, facebook, sms messages. But however we still need minicom, to communicate with hearing peers like sorting out bills etc. Telephone flashing light to let us know the phone is ringing. Vibrating alarm clock to wake us up, which we now have a few choices to have. also smoke alarm which is installed by fireman, to ensure that our lives are safe. This is linked to vibrating pad and flashing light also noise for other people to hear. Only downside of this is we cannot hear very well when it is time to change the batteries!
