One wonders why you aren't asking the same questions of spoken word. The answer is probably that what we do right now is actually very efficient, well-tested, broadly applicable, and easy to learn.
- miguelrochefort 9y agoI am extremely critical of spoken words as well. I'm convinced that natural languages should and will be replaced by something better in the near future. I'm actually working on it.
- Retra 9y agoBetter in what way, exactly? More expensive? Doesn't use built-in biological facilities? Requires software updates and network synchronization? Children can't use it?
- miguelrochefort 9y ago- You'll never have to say the same thing twice (since the system you communicate through remembers) - You'll rarely have to say something explicitly (because most of the things can be anticipated for you) - You'll never say ambiguous things (because everything is semantically clear and verified) - You won't be able to contradict yourself or express paradoxes (because the meaning is verified and tested for coherence) - You'll never have to adapt your output to an other persons input (because the translation and contextual reformulation is made for you, think responsive speech)
