The development of technology has made our everyday life easier, if it has also produced disadvantages. Radio and telephone made their debut 150 years ago and television 70 years ago. Forty years have passed since the introduction of mobile phones. Today, cell phones and multiple network connections are available to almost everyone. The problem is the confusion caused by numerous options. Which button did you have to press?
The technology of televisions has also developed. In the news broadcasts, we see more and more beautiful pictures. Like MTV3, YLE also switched to using headlines visible on the TV screen, where the most essential information of the news is told in a few words.
Several current affairs programs have subtitles, but often only in rebroadcasts. There seems to be technique and skill. This is evidenced by the live broadcasts of current affairs programs, which are subtitled and signaled. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
From the point of view of those viewers and listeners who have a disability that limits their vision or hearing, the interpretation of broadcasts has certainly improved and diversified despite the diversity of service needs. Still, I wonder how poorly the importance of subtitles has been understood, not only from the point of view of following the speech of hearing people, but also from the point of view of the learning of immigrants' language and reading skills.
