  2. project description Since the early 1960’s technology advancements have doubled every 2 years, creating an exponential growth. This has in turn created a need for an equal growth in knowledge and communication. Around the year 2050, it was realized that linguistics was no longer a capable medium to transmit information. Communication had become so complex that it was merely impossible to correctly translate one’s thoughts into words and the vocabulary that was needed to express ideas had become so complex that it was almost impossible to master*. In reaction to the linguistic crisis, the Cerebral Linguistic Link (CLL) was created. The CLL is an apparatus that connects two or more minds together, enabling the users to transfer thoughts, ideas and emotions on an unprecedented speed, level and accuracy. In 2100, most of all humans have been fjtted with some kind of CLL. *In December 2010 a joint Harvard/Google study found the language to contain 1,022,000 words and to expand at the rate of 8,500 words per year. The fjndings came from a computer analysis of 5,195,769 digitised books. Others have estimated a rate of growth of 25,000 words each year. (Kister, Ken (1992-06-15). “Dictionaries defjned”.

Nokia has patented a tattoo that transmits a perceivable impulse Really interesting and and the realm of possibilities. through a person’s skin when he or she gets a phone call, text message or email alert. “We describe the fjrst implanted glucose biofuel cell (GBFC) that is http:/ /www.forbes.com/sites/carolinehoward/2012/03/21/nokias- capable of generating suffjcient power from a mammal’s body fmuids buzzy-new-patent-a-tattoo-that-vibrates-when-your-phone- to act as the sole power source for electronic devices. This GBFC is rings/ based on carbon nanotube/enzyme electrodes, which utilize glucose oxidase for glucose oxidation and laccase for dioxygen reduction. + Electronic Paint The GBFC, implanted in the abdominal cavity of a rat, produces This innovative material allows users to interact with electronics an average open-circuit voltage of 0.57 V.

Tattoos don’t need to to be visible (invisible ink much like black light tattoos) or they could be visible and be fashionable. http:/ /mashable.com/2012/01/31/circuit-tattoo/ + Digital Tattoo Interface “It’s a blood-powered electronic interface which is embedded under skin to mimic a tattoo, display videos, or act as a phone or computer.” http:/ /www.gizmodo.com.au/2009/11/digital-tattoo-interface- turns-your-skin-into-a-display/

  6. research LANGUAGES + Three Factors in Language Design - Noam Chomsky This a a great read about the formation of language http:/ /www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/ pdf/10.1162/0024389052993655 + Inborn Universal Grammar Theory - Noam Chomsky Theory about how each human is born with a grammatical structure that is defjned. This has implication for us because it people communicate with the mind, probably that that structure would also apply to the thought process. https:/ /www.boundless.com/psychology/language/theories-of- language-development/examining-chomsky-s-inborn-universal- grammar-theory/
