I was wacthing The Next American Inventors when I got real mad.There was a women that was on their that was making something that deaf people can feel the music and dance to it.I thought that was real good invention.I have a freind that it would be real good for them. He wished that someone would he could feel the music.The guys with a bike lift was a real good idea too.I just feel real bad for her.Her story really moved me to tears that she took something that is a challenge for deaf people to do and if this gives them the help they need to feel the things that we don't really understand.

Its strange this "feeling" music stuff cos I sort of think you need to have heard the music to then be able to feel it and get a recollection of it which would mean that it was uselss to someone who had always been deaf.
I do however think any effort to share music with people who dont have the privelage is a good one, and so well done to this lady on giving it a try.
A theory of mine is that enjoyment of music may have something to do with a feeling the vibrations give you, hence why it would then be possible to mimmick this feeling through sending a series of vibrations into the correct part of a persons body (which could have nothing to do with ears and so mean a deaf person can in fact feel the 'good vibrations')

These are very good points that made and I respect that.I too think this woman gave it her all.As a person who can hear it is very hard to understand what they feel.You are right that they can feel the vibrations on the floor.I just got done watching a show that this woman is deaf and she can feel the differnts on the floor.
