“Language is merely a tool we use to translate our thoughts. In the future we won’t need to code thoughts into language – we will uniformly send symbols and ideas and concepts without speaking … in the future, speech will be what baby talk is today.” Kevin Warwick quoted in Infoglut, How Too Much Information is Changing the Way We Think and Know by Mark Andrejevic.
