> Imagine that we were just developing spoken language for the first time. And someone came up with a new word to describe an action, thought or feeling — like “magnify” or “dreadful.” But in this strange world, the person who came up with the word demanded that anyone else who used it pay him a dollar every time the word was uttered. That would make it pretty difficult for us to negotiate our way to a society that communicated through speech. --Are Apple’s innovations inside us now? - CNN.compowered by
