A new conversation
Mai: What are you preparing for our class discussion about communication in the future?
Nam: I have a short report. Here is my main idea.
In the future,I hope communication tools will become more accessible. A translation device could help visitors ask simple questions,but it should not pretend to understand every joke or feeling. Users need a way to ask for clarification. They also need control over their private information. I would design a clear delete button and a visible warning when a translation is uncertain. Better communication is not only faster speech. It also requires patient listening,respect,and the chance to correct a misunderstanding.
Mai: Can you give a reason for your opinion?
Nam: Yes. We should consider both benefits and difficulties.
