CSC236 SLOG #5

After another busy week, today is Nov 26. About a school week left until examine period and winter break.

Last two weeks lecture is on languages, and language of languages. It is quite interesting. When people talk about languages, we start thinking about history and anthropology which I had taken in my high school. From my point of view, exploring language on languages is a step toward artificial intelligence, because language is one of the magical things about human being. People use language to convey so many things - ideas, feelings, facts etc. And when two people try to say the same thing, the use of different languages can lead to two totally different results. Please forgive my wandering mind. Usually computer science people are considered nerds with disadvantage on social skills, in other words, language. At the same time, computer science people are so skillful with the computer languages including some language of languages. What a interesting contradiction!?
