    Yes cochlear implants are certainly a cool technology but it is very important to understand that they are not magic and do not allow the deaf to hear like the rest of us. I am not deaf or hearing impaired but from what I understand from those that I have talked to it is a lot more work than hearing normally and requires quite a bit of training. It is important to keep these technologies in perspective to the real thing.

    Oh, I certainly understand that the cochlear implants are not magic. But they seem awfully less magicakal than gizmos marketed via people crying videos.

    What's up the the people crying videos lately?

    Yeah the pathos like argument made by many of these very emotional videos can be quite compelling ad requires little justification and logic to do so. We are human and we by nature react and empathize with other humans and video is a very compelling way of doing this. Basically you're a lot more likely to get reactions out of a very emotional video than one that simply explains the arguments very logically. Although at the end of the day I am always left wanting an explanation but not everyone operates this way.

    I'm not saying this is what's going on, but this reminds me of...

    Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney - Say Say Say (a little distorted, but a classic video - needs more crying though)

    I was already immunized by the Meridan MQA People In Tears at the Awesomeness of HDCD, I Mean MQA video.

    Besides, I tend to be naturally immune to Judei Mind Tricks.
