Why do it if a machine can?

Things are getting a lot easier (especially if you have a smart phone) and i have the strange feeling that the majority of people are afraid of this trend. For instance information is so easily accessible it's nuts. Language has become a joke. I don't even have to spell words even close to correct and my phone offers up a list of possible words to select from. Even if that is to hard i can simply speak the word at the phone and it will recognize it. If i don't even know where to begin vocally i can simply take a picture of something and google goggles will search based on the image bypassing the need for language. I seriously think this is where we are heading. I sit here and type out English words knowing full well that this form of communication is dying a slow death. Language is simply a way to communicate ideas in the absence of sensory demonstration. With portable machines linked to networks designed to massively transmit audio and video what real need is there for language.

To add to this new internet world is a great invention that just came to light this past week called Youtube leanback. This is a feature of you tube that strings together videos consecutively so you aren't required to intervene. Very similar to the living room relic which is quickly becoming obsolete. I can't get enough of this new service. I don't want to be bothered with having to pick what comes next. Plus judging a clips value on a still plus some bit of english or foreign language is more information than i need to evaluate a 20 second clip. I would spend more time deciding on the clip than the run time of the clip. Giving the viewer the ability to force advance the clip is key, this prevents boredom. If i wanted boredom i would just turn on the TV.
