Tossed in Translation

“This week, I saw an old friend, and he caught me up on what he’d been up to over the summer. He and his girlfriend had visited family in Arizona. His niece dragged him to a screening of ‘Lilo and Stitch.’ He was working hard at a new start-up. He said all of this in Spanish, a language I have never learned, but I followed every word.” Brian X. Chen in the NYT (Gift Article): The New AirPods Can Translate Languages in Your Ears. This Is Profound. (I’m still watching my Netflix international shows with subtitles on.)
