As the second episode Fry’s Planet word aired last night (and if you missed it, you can see it here) I think I’ll direct you to this short film, illustrating clearly how language is so important, and the profound problems one encounters when access to language and the ability to comunicate is denied. Appropriately enough, fry’s program is about identity (despite no even mentioning Lacan once!) but I do think he has missed a trick by not covering the aspects of the subject connected to AAC.
