Communication In Future

   Nowadays technology has improved very much. People usually use technology to find information or to have entertainment for themselves but have you ever thought that technology is used for developing a machine that can interpret human thoughts into speech?

   Scientists working at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have developed a brain-machine interface to produce understandable synthetic speech by analyzing brain signals. This is something groundbreaking. Imagine that a person who can not use his speech ability can express himself and tell everything he wants. This also affects the world. If they improve themselves and make a machine that is more efficient and helpful even hospitals can use this machine for their patients who have speaking problems. In addition, the researchers created a virtual vocal tract, an anatomically accurate computer simulation that comprises the lips, jaw, tongue, and larynx, based on the mapping of sound to anatomy. This vocal tract is made up of two “neural network” machine learning algorithms that can be controlled by each volunteer’s brain activity. It is also thought that in the future maybe people don’t have to use their voices to communicate with each other.

   On the other hand, this machine can vanish our gestures. If we use this machine we will be more unsocial in our life. This will affect our modern life so much because normally we communicate with each other to do our jobs, personal responsibilities or ext. When we don’t communicate it will be harder to live in our modern world and even if we can communicate with this development we won’t be happy. For example, Stephan Hawkins was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author. At the time of his passing, he served as the Center for Theoretical Cosmology’s director of research at the University of Cambridge but when we look at his situation he was not happy at all.

   In the end, this development can create a new life in our world. It can help lots of people but if it is used for the right things like helping people. We will see in the future what will happen.
