 Diverting the point but in reality the phone (which is a sophisticated computer) is revolutionizing communications for the deaf as well as the rest of us. AI & ASL, text to speech, and whatever the new tech will offer, don't throw out the baby with the bathwater in any essay supposedly written by a teen is who very unlikely to say something along those lines. As the majority of people won't learn ASL, any deaf person that can use a smartphone has the ability to communicate quickly and easily.

Smartphones controlling and fine tuning wearable in ear devices are also going to be massive for the aging populations.
