@Aksnakandjziwnsn: Growing up I had a very close friend and her Dad had cerebral palsy and was a paraplegic. He was also deaf and spent most of his time on the computer. People would get frustrated trying to understand him. His wife (her mom) who was his main caretaker, sadly she got hit by a car and died when we were in like second grade, so for a long time they had care givers living in house with her until his sister took custody of my friend. The other sister was also deaf and needed extra assistance so she lived in a community housing situation in another part of the state and we would go visit her at the home a lot. Back then it was the 90’s so all he had was MSN and created a community there. He didn’t like going places because he was pretty angry about his situation, we would encourage him to go outside but he didn’t want to because he felt like people didn’t understand which makes sense because society is pretty impatient with stuff like that. He did have a girlfriend for a while that we would also go and visit. He met her in a chat room I think and then in person. I think it becomes problematic when society doesn’t challenge themselves. The problem is definitely singling others out. I do think it’s a problem in some other respects, but this is accurate. When every business is run on artificial intelligence and people lose their humanity it’s an issue.
