What VRS can look like for Deaf consumers

This video is good to give an idea of what VRS looks like. Yes, I realize it is quite sarcastic and in the end is an advertisement but I felt it was good for others to see just what Deaf people have to deal with at times. This is yet another example of a presentation of something that does, unfortunately, happen in real life - of course, not quite this dramatic. But one must realize in order for this commercial to make sense, it means it has some truth to the matter.



Kind of sad, don't you think?

Of course, had I been the interpreter in this situation a problem like this wouldn't exist.

I challenge you to consider this video the next time you go to pick up your phone to make a call. Though technology has brought on many wonderful and exciting new inventions to the Deaf community, it also brings with it many new problems. And it is still not as simple as picking up the phone, dialing a number, and hearing the person pick up on the other line.
