Катя: So you mean that, only our children suffer from this type of communication?

Голун: Not exactly. The issues of abandoning real human communities in preference for online communities or virtual communities are fast becoming prevalent. This would not only affect social behavior of our children but everything about our rich human heritage and values. It would promote individualism, self-centeredness, gross alienation and pathological isolation. Education, religion and trade would suffer

Moreover, there is another dangerous thing. When she comments in forums or on blog's anyone and everyone has the right to comment back. As we are not face to face, people tend to immediately speak their mind without thought or care for the other person. You may not even want to speak with this person, and it is most likely that you would not speak with them in the real world, but by entering the forum you are vulnerable to this. Some forums are wonderful and can be very helpful if we want to learn about something, but in my experience there always comes a time where people start to attack just because they feel like it!

Саша: Our next guest today, who has something to say to Julia`s words is a Лена.

Катя: Thank you Лена and I think there is someone to support your point of view. Please, meet the teacher of the year, Лещ Tatyana Ivanovna! Tatyana Ivanovna, do you think that the Internet has a beneficial rather than a detrimental effect on teenagers?

Ю. Волкова: The motivation for Internet communication among the deaf and hearing impaired is high. The Internet provides a unique, convenient communication tool that does not require speaking verbally. I think that Internet communication may empower some teens with hearing loss, as in some cases, communicating via Internet helps to level the playing field.

This advantage is not just technical or practical; it is also psychological. On the Internet, a deaf or hearing-impaired person can interact with people and resources in similar ways to a hearing person. This can help foster a sense of ability, control, and independence.

Another reason for the popularity of this type of communication among deaf and hearing-impaired teens is the invisibility and anonymity the Internet provides. Hearing-impaired teens can communicate not just with each other but also with hearing teens in a way that does not require them to disclose their disability. When hearing-impaired teenagers are online, nothing draws attention to that. They simply identify as a teen, not as a teen with a disability.
