Language is not very simple. Sometimes it is difficult to say everything you mean. Sometimes you could say what you mean in an hour, but you only have five seconds. Sometimes you could write an essay about your subject, but you are only allowed 50 words. There are also some things that can be said in one sentence, but when you think about it, it means as much as it would have if you said it in an entire essay. Same for the other things. A lover could write an essay about all of the things (s)he loves about the other person, or just say "I love you."

 

 

This not only means that obviously more people need more supplies, but that more people may need way more than a few people need. A small amount of people could live and work on projects together, but with a huge amount of people, some may never meet in their lives. A small amount of people may have a small amount of problems such as genetic illnesses, but not all would be ill. With a huge amount of people, there is a much higher number of illnesses. A small amount of people may live near eachother, but with a huge population there needs to be organized shipping and transportation to many places. If you are the leader of a small tribe, you may have no ability to govern a huge city. Some would say that larger populations need an exponentially greater amount of things (that's a lot).

 

 

This is a valuable saying. It is extremely important to understand that we are all similar. We all go through nearly the same life problems, and we all have generally the same live values. Everyone needs to eat, sleep, poop, have fun, learn, and socialize. It's amazing how much time we spend every day doing all of those things. There are many things to do, and they are complex, so much so that there are many ways of doing everything. There are also many wrong ways to do things, and sometimes you don't want to ever do them because you never want to suffer the consequences. For example, some people ate poisonous plants in the forest when they were lost, and died. Some children went into the road without looking. Some people had xxx with someone who was infected with AIDS. Some fell off a cliff.

 

Of course, there are things you should do on your own, such as trying new foods. You may think it was a mistake later, but you never know until you try it. You may find that you love dancing, so do it even if you are bad for a while and make mistakes. Some people avoid math because they make so many mistakes, well, you may want to get some pages of math problems to do so you get better. Some people may be afraid of drowning, but the truth is, it's more of a mistake not to learn to swim than it is to drown, since that would be the reason you drowned.

 

 

If you don't understand this one, I won't hold it against you. Some people are horrible, and you may think they deserve your hatred. It is difficult to understand why you should not hate people, and it is difficult to understand why you should be friendly to people who are not friendly to you. The truth is, you may not be the right kind of friend if you don't understand this. The good thing is that I will now describe how to be the right kind of friend.

 

People change. This is not true for everyone, but for many, and you should always keep trying to find the good in people. Some people are very trusting and very friendly with all of their friends, but it is important to respect other peoples customs. Some people are huggers, so if they do not hug you, it means they don't like you. If you are a hugger and like someone, but they don't want to hug you, it may not mean they hate you. It's good to treat everyone differently, for example, have many stages of friendship. It's good to have at least these stages of friendship: aquaintance, light conversation, someone to go out with, someone to hang out with, someone to invite to dinner, someone to have a deep connection with, and someone to share your life with. If a friend takes advantage of your trust at one stage, don't kick them out of your friendship unless it was really bad like theft, murder, and such. Instead, take the person down a level on your friendship pyramid. For example, I consider everyone who I can talk to as an entry level friend.

 

 

It is an old myth that a child knows good people from bad people, and people have sometimes listened to their baby's response to someone before entering into a relationship. Although this is a myth, there is much to be said about the wisdom of children. Children are more sensitive than adults, and it's good because an adult needs to be less sensitive to survive the harsh reality of life. Children can be more forgiving than adults, but they can be more quick to show their true feelings. Small children have their faults, such as an insatable desire for sweets, but don't let that fool you. If you have any weaknesses, you can be sure that a child will use them to his/her advantage at getting that candy or toy. Many children also tend to be happier than adults, which is very good for your health. A child may also have an active imagination, making up stories, imagining things that don't exist, and making up new games to play. An active mind is very important, and many adults forget this and become very bland.

 

There are many other good sayings, but that's all for now, maybe I'll make an update.

Voice activation is the next big thing. It is already practical for many large organizations such as governments and vehicle security companies. There is still one small hurdle to be made. This small hurdle will be made when artificial intelligence becomes more widely useable.

 

In a world of sight, sound, taste, and touch, we may lose track of our other senses and become trapped in the consumerism bubble. It is something you always know is there, but you never pay attention to it, usually not even after you are trapped. This is what many large companies are running into when they try to implement voice recognition software. Voice recognition is the ultimate outsource. It can understand whatever language or dialect it needs to, simply through guided input. Also, if a computer is not programmed properly, you simply have to re-program it to work correctly, unlike with a human being. The only problem is when the consumer becomes so annoyed with it that he or she decides to just give up instead of reporting a glitch in the program, since many voice activated technologies can be semi-functional even if you can't do what you are trying to do.

 

Voice recognition software is not only extremely useful, it is, as I said earlier, the next big thing. It will take over the jobs of all telephone operators in the entire world. Although the perfect voice activated program is still probably years away, the science behind it is here, and has been since the fifties. The voice programs that you may be familiar with currently give you a list of options and ask you to say one of them. It gives you a short amount of time to say one, and then either goes to the next option or asks you to repeat what you said. Newer voice activated programs allow you to choose a word to use as a command, such as a family member's name or some unique password. When you say a word, it tries to figure out which word you used based on what you said before.

 

I am not familiar with the pogramming behind the more recent voice recognition software, but I can tell you how it should be done. First, all of the valid sounds that a person can make must be stored into a phonetic database. There must be a list of alternates for each sound, based on similarity checks to every other sound in the database. Secondly, all words in the target language must be phonetically mapped. This does not mean to record every word and get the computer to reognize it. This means to spell each word based on how it sounds. For example, here would look like hEr and dictionary would look like dic-shun-erE. This is because everything a person would say is not spelled in the same way it is written, it is spelled in a phonetic code. Once this is done, the words are much easier for the computer to understand.

 

The phonetic dictionary takes all possible meanings of the sounds and puts them in a list of words that are spelled correctly. This includes words that may be unique to a dialect, such as yeah for yes. The dialect specific word is translated into the standard word, and a new list is made. Now the words that couldn't possibly make sense in the context of the sentence must be thrown out. For example, if the computer wants a yes or no answer, and the list is HELLO GOODBYE YES GANGSTER PEA, the words that don't make sense are thrown out, and the new list only contains the term YES. Since it is completely possible that multiple words may remain in the list after this step, the program should never say it does not understand the answer, it should instead give the possible words back, and ask for 1 or 2 or 3, or to make a sound when the correct word is returned.

 

If at all possible, an interactive screen should be present in order to help with mis-understandings and new word entry. I also did not cover the differences in voices, because it is a main focus with voice recognition software already. It is possible to simply measure the average tones and raise or lower the voiceprint automatically.
