American Sign Language: "technology
& advanced signs" [2]
Also see: 1 |
Notes:
This is an advanced class.
It is not intended for beginners. Technology signs tend to evolve
and change quickly.
Multiple versions of signs tend to co-exist.
Many Deaf prefer to spell tech concepts.
Many Deaf resist signs for technical concepts. ASL Instructors are
particularly picky and tend to think "their" sign is right.
(Cough, cough.) Use new technology signs cautiously and be ready to
give up your cherished version if and when needed. Example:
Many do not like the sign for iPHONE.
However, many Deaf do use the iPHONE sign. The YOUTUBE sign is not
standardized as of 2017.
New signs either fade or are accepted.
Check with your local Deaf. Then check again.
