Video! Why do we even have to think about communication in natural language? When our technology was more primitive, it was the only convenient way to communicate. Of course, now with video telecommunication technology, video communications can provide a much more convenient way of communicating, not subject to the symbolic incompatibility of hapticly evolved human natural languages.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be buddies and talk with someone from ancient times? There are some things that us moderners think considerable difficulties, namely traveling long distances on foot to get around, that surely someone from ancient times would laugh off our complaints as silly. Well, you don’t have to cross the time boundary, you can converse with people in less developed countries today, via smartphones. And machine translation? No, you don’t need that. With new advances in technology, there are by far less ambiguous, more compatible ways to communicate in the modern era, namely video.
