Ken Perlin, for example, a professor of computer science at New York University, believes the language of the future could be less about oral expression and more about communication using a combination of gestures and sounds. He says what we know as the not-so-far-off technologies of ‘augmented reality’ will not be augmented for the children of the future, it will simply be normal – as they will have known nothing else. He says that without the burdens of having to learn a reality where shapes and colours are not bound by the laws of natural physics these children could drastically change the way we communicate in a way not seen in the last 5,000 years.
