    Hey, s’up, surf dude? Listen, I am not understanding your analogy. You can shoot me, but what if the batteries in the flashlight died?

    Hi Jon!

    Happy to see you on Vlog! Yes, right on!!!

    I was being charged 10 cents from each teacher for not calling my other Deaf friends’ name while their hearing aids’ batteries were dead! I waved my arms to get my friend’s attenshun. Teacher caught me and I pulled out my “green card” for the teacher to sign initiatial name!

    I was on the top of my classmates to pay my homeroom teacher on each Fridays! The money go to teacher’s coffee and fancy donuts in their break room!

    Keep on vlogging pls?

    Jon, I like your use of analogies to help viewers understand better the concepts.

    Interesting analogy. I wonder what will happen to the flashlight if the bulb burns out? Or the batteries die? Same boat as the microphone? Ack.

    Raychelle & Mary Ruth,

    You got good points!

    Batteries can be recharge or replace battery such as your energy. Blub need to replaced such as your body replace old cells to new one.

    If microphone or speaker isn’t work then you will need to open and fix inside of machine or let it go?

    🙂

    Yeah that s right! Speaker and flash lights = 2 thing is like voice and lips 🙂 If both are not work then both parts of body (no voice and no lips movement) are not work so it is MUTE, if flasher light is alive so is expression lips is alive that s not mute 🙂 Sound like you point out it as DEAF. That s good job Jon

    Hi Jon

    You should say the broken mike is “DEAF” and speaker is “MUTE” because speaker doesn’t receive any sound from mike.
