Skype现在可以实时翻译十种语言
是的，这是一个小世界。大概我们被告知。电话和互联网的出现使距离无关紧要，今天我们可以像隔壁一样容易地与地球另一端的某人进行交流。实际上，在某些情况下，与我们当地社区中的人们相比，与地球另一端的人交谈可以说要容易得多。但是仍然存在一个障碍，这是一个很大的语言，而这就是迄今为止的障碍。
我最近在迪拜发表演讲，当我和我的家人在场地，购物中心，酒店和机场周围走来走去时，毫无讽刺意味的是，我知道，有机会，我可以与那里的大多数人进行对话，但不能因为我不会说德语，日语，日本或普兰德林。这就是这个问题。
这并不是说我们与其他文化或人民没有很多共同点，也不是，如果我们伸出援手，我们将无法享受他们的陪伴。在许多情况下，我们未能理解其他文化，问题和人们的原因是我们共同的无力在有意义的水平上相互交流。肢体语言并没有削减。例如，尝试使用肢体语言来理解难民的故事，您就会明白。
That said though with Google’s DeepMind text based platform now able to natively translate between over a hundred different languages and Microsoft Skype’s video and speech based service able to do the same, in real time after they announced their support for Japanese, their tenth language, with the others being other languages are English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, and Russian, those barriers, like so many before them, are beginning to vanish,有一天，他们将完全消失。
Today though these technologies are limited to translating text and speech through a screen, or a headset, tomorrow we’ll be able to get rid of those “old world” intermediary devices and communicate with each other natively using Brain to Brain (B2B) communication that uses a mixture of next generation Brain Machine Interfaces (BMI), such as the Neural Lace touted by Elon Musk and those being developed by Facebook, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the cloud.
再见耳机，再见屏幕，您好心灵感应。是的 - 心灵感应交流已经是一回事……
因此，当我们展望未来时，越来越容易看到技术将如何成为一种有助于团结我们所有人并使我们更加紧密团结在一起的利益的力量，尽管反对更多的人担心自动化和工作安全。
无论是由于新的实时翻译服务（例如Google和Microsoft的新实时翻译服务），这只是第一个Salvo，还是更进一步的技术，例如创建新的Hive Mind，Telepathic或Virtual Reality Technologies，肯定的是，世界将会变得更小，更小，有趣。And as for those people who fear or worry about globalisation all I have to say is you either view these new paradigms as threats or opportunities – on the one hand it is getting easier for people to “reach” into your own backyard, and, for example, perform your job, but similarly, with the right skills and vision, it’s now easier than ever for you to reach into everyone else’s back yard, and when you boil it down there are an infinite number of backyards for you to reach into, and therefore,从定义上讲，对于您中间的企业家来说，这给您带来了几乎无限的机会。所以去征服。
