يا ريت يلي عندو ياها يفيدنا منها وشكررراااااااااااااااااااااااااا

تفضلي اختي

كشفت دراسة جديدة أجراها أستاذ علم النفس بجامعة ولاية كاليفورنيا لارى
روزين ، أن استخدام المراهقين لموقع التواصل الاجتماعى الشهير الفيسبوك
بشكل مبالغ يؤثر تأثيرا سلبيا على العادات الاجتماعية للمراهقين، ويجعلهم
عرضه للمشاكل النفسية مثل النرجسية ، ومشاكل فى عيوب الشخصية.

وجاء البحث تحت اسم " أقرصنى أو نبهنى " كيف تستطيع الشبكة الاجتماعية مساعدة أو إيذاء أطفالنا ومراهقينا".

وخلصت الدراسة إلى أن هناك بعض التأثيرات السلبية للشبكة الاجتماعية
وأهمها : تطور النرجسية عند المراهقين الذين يستخدمون الفيس بوك بشكل مبالغ
فيه , إضافة إلى بعض المشاكل النفسية الأخرى مثل السلوكيات المعادية
للمجتمع , والهوس , والنزعة العدوانية , ومن بين التأثيرات السلبية
لاستخدام الفيس بوك بشكل مبالغ هو زيادة نسبه الغياب عن المدارس , و
المعاناة من اضطرابات النوم , والقلق و الاكتئاب , و انخفاض معدلات
التركيز والحفظ .

وأكدت الدراسة أن التعرض عامة لجميع وسائل التكنولوجيا وألعاب الفيديو
بشكل كبير يوميا له دور مؤثر فى هذه المشاكل بجانب الفيس بوك .

وفى نفس الوقت أوضحت الدراسة بعض الجوانب الإيجابية للشبكة الاجتماعية
الأوسع انتشارا عالميا , فى التعاطف والدعم للاصدقاء عبر الشبكة فى العالم
الحقيقى من خلال قضاء وقت اطول معهم على الشبكة ، , كما أن الشبكة
الاجتماعية تساعد شباب المراهقين الذين يعانون من الانطواء والخجل الزائد،
على التواصل الاجتماعى فيما بينهم والشباب على الموقع من خلال شاشة تحميهم
وهو يدعم فرصتهم فى أن يصبحون أكثر اجتماعيه فيما بعد , كما توفر أدوات
تعليمية تساعد على تنشيط الطلاب الصغار وحثهم على التعليم .

ونقل موقع " ساينس ديلى " المتخصص فى نشر الأبحاث العلمية فى مجال
التكنولوجيا مجموعة من النصائح للآباء و الأمهات ومنها " إذا كنت تستعد
أو تستخدم بالفعل مجموعة من برامج الكمبيوتر لتراقب نشاط أطفالك على
الشبكات الاجتماعية فأنت تهدر وقتك , الطفل سيجد الحل فى غضون دقائق " .

وأضاف " يجب أن نبدأ مبكرا فى الحديث عن الاستخدام المناسب للتكنولوجيا , ونبنى الثقة مع أطفالنا " .

وشجع الموقع الآباء على تقييم استخدام أولادهم للشبكات الاجتماعية وإزالة
أية محتويات غير لائقة , كما يجب على الآباء متابعة ومعرفة , أحدث تقنيات
مواقع الانترنت والتطبيقات التى يستخدمها أطفالهم .

وتابع " التواصل هو جوهر الأبوة أو الأمومة , أنت تحتاج للتحدث مع أولادك
والاستماع لهم , فيجب أن تكون نسبة استماع الآباء للأولاد لا تقل عن نسبه 1
إلى 5 بمعنى أن تتحدث دقيقة وتستمع لطفلك 5 دقائق " .

A new study conducted by Professor of Psychology at the University of California to see
Rosen, that the use of adolescents to the famous social networking site Facebook
Overly negative impact on the social habits of adolescents, and makes them
Presentation of psychological problems such as narcissism, and problems in personal defects.

The search under the name "Oqrsny or warned me," How can social networking help or harm our children and adolescents. "

To use Facebook is to increase the amounts are attributed to absence from school, and
Suffering from sleep disorders, anxiety and depression, and low rates
Concentration and conservation.

The study confirmed that exposure to all public and media technology, video games
Dramatically every day has an influential role in these problems next to Facebook.

At the same time, the study showed some positive aspects of social network
Most widely used globally, in the sympathy and support to friends across the network in the world
True by spending more time with them on the network, and that the network
Social help young adolescents who suffer from excessive shyness and introversion,
On the social networking among themselves and young people to the site through a screen protected by
It supports their chance to become more social later, and also provide tools
Educational help to stimulate young students and encourage them to education.

And the relocation of "Science Daily," a specialist in the spread of scientific research in the field of
Technology, a set of tips for parents and mothers, including "If you are preparing
Or already use computer programs to monitor the activity of your children
Social networks, you are wasting your time, the child will find a solution within minutes. "

"We must start early in talking about the appropriate use of technology, and build trust with our children."

The site encouraged parents to their children to evaluate the use of social networks and the removal of
Any content that is inappropriate, and parents should follow up and learn the latest techniques

Safety , English report about Safety -التعليم الاماراتي

السلام عليكم و رحمه الله وبركاته ..

صبحكم / مساكم ربي بالخيير ..

حبيت احط لكم تقريري لهذا الفصل بعنــوان ( Safety )~

اتمنى انكم تستيفيدوون منه ..

متمنيه لكم دوام التوفيق و التميــز .. !

*) Introduction ..!
In this report I`m going to talk about ( Safety ) .
First , I will talk about the safety . Second , I will talk about the Meanings of safety . After that , you will know about the limitation of safety . finally, you are going to know the types of safety . .

|* Safety :

Safety is the state of being "safe", the condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational or other types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-desirable. This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health or economical losses. It can include protection of people or of possessions.

|* Meanings of safety:

There also are two slightly different meanings of safety, for example, home safety may indicate a building’s ability to protect against external harm events (like weather, home invasion, etc), and the second that its internal installations (like appliances, stairs, etc) are safe (not dangerous or harmful) for its habitants.

Limitations : *|

Safety can be limited in relation to some guarantee or a standard of insurance to the quality and unharmful function of an object or organization. It is used in order to ensure that the object or organization will do only what it is meant to do.
It’s important to realize that safety is relative. Eliminating all risk, if even possible, would be extremely difficult and very expensive. A safe situation is one where risks of injury or property damage are low and manageable.

|* Types of safety :

It is important to distinguish between products that meet standards, that are safe, and those that merely feel safe. The highway safety community uses these terms:
Normative safety :
Normative safety is a term used to describe products or designs that meet applicable design standards.
Substantive safety:
Substantive safety means that the real-world safety history is favorable, whether or not standards are met.
Perceived safety :
Perceived safety refers to the level of comfort of users. For example, traffic signals are perceived as safe, yet under some circumstances, they can increase traffic crashes at an intersection. Traffic roundabouts have a generally favorable safety record, yet often make drivers nervous.

*) conclusion..!

At the end of this report . I hope that you can be safe with the correct ways . I hope you have got some new information about the safety & Thank you for reading. I’m waiting for your opinion and good luck ..

Report about safety at home

في المرفق..بشكل مرتب

[Ministry of Education
United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Area of Cape RAK Education

Introduction:

The Evolution experienced by the world resulted in a lot of threats to human security. And domestic accidents and resulting deaths and injuries and material losses painful thing. It is truly regrettable that the studies and research indicate that more accidents in the home because of ignorance of rights.
.And can not be for a person to do without electricity and gas because it is associated with much of the means by which facilitated our life , which is the blessing given by God to us if we have a good use and in the corresponding risk what bothers life. Became necessary for us to know the danger and its causes and how to deal with him. And I will focus
# On the following points :
* Domestic accidents and methods of prevention.
* How to deal with accidents in the home if it happened.
* Procedures and the required safety in the home.

Accidents in the home
Of the leading causes of accidents in the home

First : gas

Negligence or tampering with gas cylinders results in a lot of risks that may harm family members, and for the prevention of incidents of gas, we must:
• Choose the right place and preferably away from the cooking sites and well-ventilated area.
• Ensure that construction and safety and not exposed to heat and weather factors to cause damage and replace the damaged ones immediately.
• Check stoves and furnaces and make sure they are clean.
• It is better to install a detector for a gas leak.

Second: The accidents of fire

When a fire to allow God must follow the following steps: –
• Immediately inform the existing fire incident with the speed of the evacuation of the place through the emergency exits safe.
• separate power supply at source
• Contact the Civil Defense at (998).
• Fire-fighting means in the initial fire such as fire
Extinguishers.

procedures and required safety at home :

• provide appropriate fire extinguisher
• Install smoke detectors in the home
• Provide first aid kit
• training on how to deal with incidents when they occur
• the need to define the family phone of Civil Defense (998) to contact in case of any emergency

I’ll put some guidance for the provision of safety at home

Kitchen:
Beyond the reach of children hot pots
Beware of leaving children alone in the kitchen
Must be sharp kitchen utensils out of reach of children

Living Room:
Must close all sockets plugs, plastic
Electrical appliances should be removed from the reach of children
Electrical connections should be removed from the hands of children

Bathroom:
Must be put detergent shampoo and soap and powder and sharp tools in high-rack is difficult to access.
Should not leave the child alone in the bathroom so it does not harm himself.
Medicines should be kept away and put it in a high rack.

Terrace:

Should not allow the child to go out alone to the terrace and you should not put any piece of furniture (a chair or table) next to the edge of the terrace
Barriers should be placed to protect any internal stairs or on the terrace

In conclusion, I wish to take the parents in the home safety in mind because it is the reason for most of the accidents that are preventable, so we must take care always.

English report about tourism in UAE ، تقرير اجليزي عن السياحة في الإمارات -تعليم الامارات

بغيت تقرير عن السياحة في الامارات بسرعة

Introduction

Due to its ******** the UAE has been able to act as a connecting link between Europe and the Indian subcontinent, the Far East and Africa since time immemorial. It is still playing the role of intermediary between these vastly different cultures, the only difference being that air travel has significantly increased the number of visitors who come to the UAE. Traditional Arab hospitality and a delightful winter climate complemented by a highly sophisticated infrastructure and crime-free environment, have also contributed in recent years to creating an ideal atmosphere for the development of tourism. The UAE is also endowed with an extensive coastline, sandy beaches and varied landscape, where a wide variety of activities can be indulged, ranging from powerboat races to sand-skiing. Manicured golf courses provide ready enjoyment and for the less active shopping opportunities abound. In addition, the country’s deep-rooted cultural heritage, accessible in the many cultural centers and at traditional sports such as falconry, camel- racing and horse-racing, has been a powerful attraction for tourists. The UAE has also become a much sought after venue for conferences, regional and international exhibitions and major sports events such as the Dubai World Cup, the Dubai Desert Classic Golf Tournament, and polo and cricket competitions.
Federal Coordination
Tourism organizations in the individual emirates actively market their own special attractions, frequently attending international holiday fairs as well as encouraging travel agents and tour operators to visit the UAE to experience the rich seam of Arabian life for themselves. Minister of Information and Culture Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan announced at the ATM 99 (Arabian Travel Market) that the Ministry is studying a plan to set up a federal body to coordinate the promotional activities carried out by tourism authorities in individual emirates in order to integrate tourism promotion in the UAE as a whole. Sheikh Abdullah called on local authorities to concentrate on developing elite tourism and to focus on the country’s heritage and culture. He noted that the selection of the UAE as one of the nine prominent destinations in the Middle East at the 1999 ITB Berlin travel and tourism show was an acknowledgement that the country’s tourism infrastructure and facilities were rated among the best in the world. Sheikh Abdullah stressed the importance of promoting inter-Arab tourism and also mooted the idea of Arab countries coming together to form a pan-Arab tourism body in the Middle East.
Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi emirate was little known as a tourist destination until the discovery of oil financed its major development programme. A thoroughly modern infrastructure of air and sea ports, highways, telecommunications systems, five-star hotels, restaurants and entertainment complexes has turned the emirate into an active tourist center. Dubbed the Garden City of the Gulf, Abu Dhabi now offers visitors a variety of options ranging f rom green parks, clean beaches, a range of marine and other sports, exotic adventures in the desert, or the pleasure of shopping in its diverse shopping centers and malls. Tourists can also pay a visit to the oasis city of Al Ain and enjoy a sightseeing tour to archaeological and leisure sites such as Al Hili Fun City, Ain Al Faydha Resort, Al Jahili Fort or the National Museum. In 1997 some 937,717 people from neighboring countries visited Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi National Hotels Company

Established in 1978 the Abu Dhabi National Hotels Company (ADNHC), plays an important role in the promotion of tourism in Abu Dhabi emirate. The total assets of the company were Dh 1.175 billion for the year ending 1998. ADNHC owns six hotels in the emirate and manages seven other hotels and a number of tourism outlets such as the Abu Dhabi Ice rink, as well as several rest houses. It also supervises the duty-free complexes at Abu Dhabi and Al Ain international airports and is involved in the development of several new facilities.
The company operates divisions for hotel management, catering and contract services, purchasing and tourism services and provides transport services through Al Ghazal, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Al Futaisi Golf and Country Club
Tourist development in Abu Dhabi is ongoing and many new projects are under way. One imaginative scheme is Al Futaisi Golf and Country Club’s plan to transform Al Futaisi Island off Abu Dhabi into one of the UA E ’s most popular tourist resorts. The Club already has a restaurant, tent village, 18-hole golf course, horse riding track, beautiful beaches and a swimming pool. Forty luxurious chalets are being built and the island, which covers 45 square kilometers, is to have several species of local and migratory birds, sand gazelles, turtles, and horses, and is a haven for nature lovers.
Global Travel Awards
Worldwide acknowledgement of the great strides made in the tourism industry in the UAE was underlined when the UAE was awarded several international travel industry awards in March 1999, the most significant of which was the world’s safest holiday destination, a tribute to the high degree of personal safety experienced by visitors to this country. The UAE was also voted the best overall destination and best shopping venue, as well as runner-up in the dining out category, scoring just one point less than Italy. Emirates airline was voted the best international airline. The Travel Oscar awards were organized by Germany’s travel magazine GLOBO which surveyed 13,000 readers. The UAE had also received the safest destination award for 1996.
Dubai
Independent studies show that the tourism industry has accounted for a steadily increasing percentage of Dubai’s GDP, with some estimates putting it as high as 20 per cent. In fact tourism is expected to over take oil exports as an important source of revenue in the near future. Dubai’s 255 hotels have a total of 17,253 rooms and occupancy in 1998 a veraged 49.3 per cent. Since January 1997 when the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (D TCM) took over from the Tourism and Trade Promotion Council, there has been renewed focus on worldwide promotion of Dubai as an ideal tourist destination and a thriving commercial center. This has involved setting up the DTCM representative offices in many countries across the globe as well as participation in numerous international tourism fairs. In addition, the DTCM has launched very successful advertising campaigns worldwide. The DTCM also organizes tourism-related exhibitions in Dubai. Early in 1999 it hosted the Arabian Marine Tourism Conference, the first of its kind to be held in the region. In May more than 500 exhibitors from 40 countries participated in the Arab Travel Market 99, which was also held under the auspices of the DTCM. Not surprisingly, since the number of tourists is expected to reach three million by the end of the year 2000, Dubai has a number of major tourism-related projects coming on-stream.

Royal Mirage Hotel
The Royal Mirage, an opulent 250-room beach resort, opened in mid-1999. Located on Jumeirah beach, the resort has been designed to reflect the splendour of a rediscovered Arabian fort ress. With a majestic 70-foot gilded dome, the hotel promises to link Arabia’s enticing culture with the demands of twenty-first-century leisure. Focus is on the most highly prized virtues of the Arab world, hospitality and courtesy. The hotel has 64,000 square metres of manicured desert landscape and 800 meters of private beach with a dedicated water sports and recreational facility, including sailing, kayaks, windsurfing, pedals, water-skiing, snorkeling and water polo.
Fujairah Tourism Bureau
Fujairah Tourism Bureau was established in 1996 to market the emirate’s considerable tourist attractions, which include such diverse activities as watching bloodless bull-wrestling, visiting mangrove forests and bird-breeding sites, or navigating the steep mountain roads and narrow gorges of the Musandam peninsula. The area between Al Faqit and Al Aqqah, just south of Dibba, is already a popular destination for holidaymakers, thanks to its long, sandy beaches and many snorkeling and scuba-diving sites. Fujairah Tourism Bureau recently signed a contract with the Belgian Three Corners Emirates Company to build a 150-room resort in Al Faqit. The Dh 34 million Fujairah Resort will be constructed on 35,000 square meters. In addition, Emirates plans to build a five – star, 200-room hotel in Al Aqqah which will be operated by Meridien Hotels. Several other projects are also set to commence in the near future: a spa in Ain Al Ghammour, two diving centers in Dibba Al Faqit and a large marina and golf course in Al Aqqah near the Sandy Beach Motel.

The Future of Languages

Hundreds of years ago, schools taught Latin as a compulsory subject. The pupils had no choice whether or not to learn it, because it was deemed an important subject. Since then, it has gradually faded, and disappeared from the National Curriculum (not that the NC existed back then anyway). Why is this? Perhaps it’s because:

Nobody spoke it
It was old and archaic
It was replaced by more useful subjects

More useful, of course, meaning more important from an educational point of view, for example, learning about electricity is a vital part of a modern education, and things like this superceded learning Latin.

Eventually, there will come a stage when foreign languages are no longer deemed necessary, just as Latin has been. And I think this time will come soon.
A standard PC can be equipped with a copy of Power Translator Pro. This will translate ********s from 6 major languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese) into any other of those 6 major languages. The translation process is not perfect (quite a few mistakes are still made) but it is getting better and better with every new version being released. With this, I can write in English, and a Frenchman will be able to read it in French.
This itself is fine, but more interestingly is this: With a microphone and a copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking, I can speak English into the computer and it will be written in French. The voice recognition process is not perfect, either, but it too is getting vastly better as the versions continue to be released.
By getting a simple voice synthesis program, I can make the computer speak French as well. Voice synthesis is pretty difficult for a computer, but it is making a lot of progress. BT recently designed a replacement for Stephen Hawking’s aging voice program which sounded like a very convincing Englishman.

By combining these technologies – voice recognition, translation and voice synthesis – I could quite happily sit next to a Frenchman and speak English, while he would hear French. He could then speak French and I would hear English. At the moment, this is not possible, but there is no reason why it should not be. All it requires is:

Far more powerful computers (mainly more powerful processors) to translate as fast as
you speak.

More miniaturisation.
The last point is interesting. If this were to be done as a piece of computer software, it would require a computer. Computers are big, and have big monitors and lots of cables and need mains electricity. This makes it awkward to speak to a foreign person because you’d both have to be sitting at a computer.

Over the course of the next ten or twenty years, computers will obviously get a lot smaller as they have done over the last ten or twenty years. I predict that within twenty years, all the software and hardware required to build this translator could be shrunk down into something as small as you could want (skeptics note: who would have thought how small mobile phones could get? Yet they are getting smaller every day). The translator could be manufactured as a kind of hearing aid, with a built in microphone and speaker. This would mean you could speak English and seamlessly talk to any foreign person.
When a device like this is finally built and marketed, they will sell like nothing you can imagine. They will let you speak any language, fluently to anybody, without having to ‘waste’ years of your life learning it. Eventually, foreign languages will not be taught in school, as they will be replaced by a subject that is deemed more educationally important. Hey! Just like Latin!

Technical Stuff and Feasibility

The kind of software that would let you do this now requires almost 500Mb of storage space, at least a Pentium II processor to get any kind of decent speed out of, and buckets of RAM. Better quality software (read: perfect) that can ‘learn’ the language would probably occupy several gigabytes of space. No problem for the technology of 2022, eh? If you imagine 20 years ago, we were still using hard disks measured in kilobytes, and computers were still big bulky things.
Why shouldn’t a computer be able to learn a language.? All French is, is a set of rules and a big list of vocabulary. All that is required to learn it is an understanding of the rules and a memorisation of the vocabulary. This goes for any language. The rules may be complicated, but as long as they are not random, they are perfectly learnable by a computer. A computer could even be trained to watch TV and pick up new phrases and words as they appear. Different ways of saying things would be stored as different sets of logical instructions.
A good way to look a fool in a few years time is to underestimate technology, especially in the areas of computer science and miniaturisation. This will almost certainly happen sometime in the near future, effectively removing the point of anybody today learning a language.
UPDATE 8th February 1999: Dragon have recently released the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Mobile device. This little thing listens to your speech and recognises, and saves it as text in the device. This is a major step towards the creation of a babelfish device, as it would now be very easy to integrate a tiny little dictionary unit (which are also already avaiLable – you know those things that you type a word into and press French, Spanish, Italian or German to have it translated? One of those). Next, we would need some hardware to synthesise speech, which shouldn’t be too hard. We are a lot closer now…
UPDATE 22nd February 1999: There was an article in Frontiers magazine (I think) about exactly this device. They even called it a babelfish. They picked up on the idea of having it in your ear, and seemed to show a button on the device that switched between different languages. It said linguists are getting scared and scientists are getting excited. Perfect. Of course, it hasn’t been invented yet, but it can only be so long.
UPDATE 11th January 2000: The huge explosion of the PDA market is the single most important step towards creating a babelfish device. As digital cameras combine themselves with PDA’s, Mp3 players and mobile phones, the need for huge amounts of fast storage arises. We already have the 340Mb Microdrive from IBM which can easily hold the current generation of translation programs, along with enough space for multiple languages, a voice recognition program and voice synthesis programs. Larger versions are already in development (up to 650Mb), and Sony’s MiniDV system (or whatever it’s called) is just about to be released in the UK at 650Mb. PDA’s still aren’t quite powerful enough for real time translation, but could easily manage only a few seconds delay.

So how do we do it? Really.

The technology exists now. Speech recognition applications are extremely accurate and avaiLable in many different languages. Translation is also very good, and fast on Pentium II’s. Voice synthesis is also much better now Lucent have released their version of it. It can do any language and sounds very realistic. The first software that will combine all three will be for WinCE 3.0 when it is released. HP’s new super palmtops will have very fast Celeron class processors in, which will make the process almost real time, and of course the palmtop is portable. The next innovation will be the miniaturisation. Powerful palmtops will be the size of the Palm V in a few years time, which by then will have combined itself with a mobile phone to become an all in one data device (or whatever). This would be the size at which it would become a babelfish for real. If you could both hold it up to your ear like a phone, you could both talk and neither of you would be aware of a language difference. Ten years later, minituisation technology will probably have blessed us with an earpiece version of this, as well as near perfect recognition, translation and speech.
UPDATE 11th January 2000: Not bad predictions, eh? WinCE 3.0 hasn’t come out yet, but that is pretty much irrelevant now. The first babelfish device will appear on whichever Palmtop OS is the most common, as it will undoubtedly be a hack job done by amateurs piecing together the three component programs (voice recognition, translation, synthesis). The new HP palmtops do indeed have Celeron class (well, the Celeron of early ’99) processors running at 133Mhz. This is used well enough for mp3 decoding, so an evolution of this type of lightweight, powerful processor will form part of the first babelfish. The HP Palmtops also include speakers and a microphone, essential items for the babelfish which should become standard features on PDA’s, price permitting. Time to make some new predictions then? This time next year, Palmtops will have processors powerful enough to encode mp3’s in real time as well as decoding them. Storage devices will offer up to half a gigabyte of fast memory (assuming there are no more earthquakes in Taiwan and obviously, at a hefty price). I don’t think mp3 players, digicams, PDA’s, pagers and phones will quite have merged, but phones will begin to have more complex operating systems. Your days are increasingly numbered, French.

Would this kill Foreign Languages?

No. People would still learn them, as these people would build the translators, just as only a few people today learn how to program computers, and the rest use them. Languages would become a specialist subject, taken only at degree level, or perhaps earlier. In the first stages of phasing out the teaching of foreign languages, there would be an option not to take a language at GCSE, but they would still be taught at earlier levels.
Note: at this point we have exactly what the Americans have. They don’t teach languages as religiously as we do. Do you know why? Because they don’t need to. Do you know why? Because they control the world. Their way of doing things is invariably the right way. Anti-Americanists are just incapable of accepting the fact that somebody might be better than us.
Then, kids would have the option of not taking a language at all, and gradually, as more and more kids choose not to take that option (preferring to take Genetic-Nano-Control, or some futuristic topic), more and more schools would not offer that option. Eventually, languages will become just like computer programming – if you want to have a career in it, you learn it. But only if.

What about Foreign People? Will they have to speak English?

No of course they won’t. They will still learn their own language, but the translators will work the other way round for them.
However, in the long run, English will be the only language spoken by humans. In a few hundred years time, I expect humans will be living on different planets and different solar systems. The only way for Earth to communicate or trade with these colonies would be to speak English. As humans spread, Earth will become more of a minority, being the only planet not to speak English. Perhaps in a few thousand years time, humans will have colonised the whole galaxy, with 100,000,000,000 planets, all speaking English, and Earth, speaking a hundred or so fragmented languages. They would be forced to speak English, through sheer awkwardness. Why should the universe speak English, you ask? Because it’s the law. Any person leaving the planet must be able to speak English. That is true today.
Of course, that’s all science fiction, but isn’t it more likely than most other kinds of science fiction? Like Frenchmen taking over the universe, for example.
The idea of the earpiece translator is not copyrighted as it has been popular science fiction for years. Anybody please feel free to build one. Not only would you be stupidly rich, but you’d bring happiness to millions of students who are
currently forced to speak a foreign language against their will, myself included.
