I am a HUGE fan of Douglas Adams. My blog is called 'Beast of Traal', after a character from his science fiction novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. My music blog's name, 'Milliblog' too is a riff of Milliways, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, from the same novel.
Another one of my pet projects is called 'No Word Yet' (https://tinyurl.com/nowordyet2), a reverse version of what Douglas Adams attempted in his 'The Meaning of Liff'.
Beyond sci-fi and humor, Douglas Adams was a voracious consumer and thinker of technology, and has had a huge impact on many things we take for granted today. One such fictional invention he created in the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the 'Babel Fish' (named after the Tower of Babel).
Instead of explaining what a Babel Fish is or does, let me share an excerpt from the 2005 movie version of the book. Watch that, and then watch the two inventions that have brought this fictional concept to life, first by Google in 2017, and now, in 2025, by Apple!

Еще один очень важный пазл в истории создания Babelfish - объединение и обучение учителей из самых разных городов и стран.
Итак, в этой части мы рассказываем о команде Babelfish, которая меняет мир через обучение детей, родителей и учителей, говоря на языке эмпатии. 🤍🌎

They say ADHD makes you restless. Too much rum doesn’t help either. But add half an engineering brain and twelve rum-fueled years later, you'll end up with something wild — a floating home I call Babelfish. She’s not just a boat, she’s an adventure, a puzzle, and a party rolled into one. Life on board is never boring, and the sunsets look better with good company. Care to come aboard and see where she’ll take us?

Siamo all’anno 1, ma riuscite a immaginare il mondo tra 10 anni. Certo, ci sono tantissime criticità, tutte da discutere e considerare, ma io vedo opportunità incredibili. Se avete letto Guida galattica per autostoppisti, ricorderete che parlava di “babel fish” un pesciolino che messo nell’orecchio traduce nella tua lingua qualunque lingua del mondo. Ci siamo! Secondo me tra 5/6 anni babel fish sarà realtà!
Buona visione. E buon futuro! 😉
