oh you april fool
Oh am I embarrassed? By the Richard and Judy show on Channel 4 (UK) of all people. They did a brilliant spoof. They had this guy who had developed a gadget called the Babylon. It had two loudspeakers each with a button with the British and German flags. This gadget was able to receive speech in say English and if you then pressed the button - the words would not only be translated - but would come out in your own voice in the other language.
Oh on our drive home - all the way from Bournemouth - what a fantastic gadget - we reckoned they would sell it at about £250 - but that it would drop to around £30 over the next few years. Then using the technology - you could have phones - where you speak in one language and it appears that you are talking in another. And - why it would be easy to get it to translate into text for mobile phones - and on and on.
It wasn't until Southampton - it dawned - April 1st - we have been had - well and truly - well done Richard and Judy.
