Why Facebook has become so important to the sign language community. Sign language users once had to meet at local deaf clubs to have conversations and share their views.
Now, video on social media means things have changed, says deaf journalist Charlie Swinbourne. There was a time when sign language users had to go to a local club to shoot the breeze, share advice or have any kind of conversation. It's not as if you could just pick up the phone for a chat.

By Allison MacLachlan Modern life without language is impossible to comprehend, or rather, just impossible.
Language and speech are central to how we convey information and emotion, form bonds, conduct business, and organize ourselves into productive societies.
