Is Machine Language expanding Human Language?
“As technology creeps more and more into our everyday lives,” DeRouchey explains, “the language of technology also permeates our culture. It’s expanding our language, giving us new metaphors for thinking and communicating. The play symbol, the mouse pointer, the @ sign are all examples of symbols with deepening layers of meaning and becoming true icons within our language. This session will spot trends of how humans and technology are forming a symbiotic language, hopefully leading to a fun and esoteric discussion”.
