TED 2011
Deb Roy : The birth of a word (transcript)
Summary
This is the amazing idea that fits in the current generation, because in a usual house, 1) countless moments of unsolicited natural moments, not posed moments can be captured. 2) The speaker recorded his son with a very special home recording system in his house. After that, he started thinking how to discover them and what to find from them. 3)
First, it's used to understand the process of how a child learns a language. Current technologies can choose apart patterns from this massive data and can try to understand the influence of social environments on language acquisition. 4)
It relates between when people are saying something and what the context other people are saying in it.
Its connection will lead to seeing new social structures.
The data can be used with other many things and you can know the birth of a word easily from now.
I think that it'll be a little scary because your all life can be recorded easily, you can go back in the past and re-experience moments that you can never do before and you can do that forever.
