This book traces the history of language technology from writing - the first        technology specifically designed for language - to digital speech and other        contemporary language systems. The book describes the social impact of technological        developments over five millennia, and addresses topics such as the ways in which        literacy has influenced cognitive and scientific development; the social impact of        modern speech technology; the influence of various printing technologies; the        usesand limitations of machine translation; how far mass information access is a        means for exploitation or enlightenment; the deciphering of ancient scripts; and        technical aids for people with language disabilities.Richard Sproat writes in a        clear, readable style, introducing linguistic and other scientific concepts as they        are needed. His book offers fascinating reading for everyone interested in how        language and technology have shaped and continue to shape our day-to-day        lives.
