Just saw something really neat on the web. There is an organization called TED. They give TED Talks, were some really smart people give 10 to 20 min speeches about really neat stuff in a way that is understandable by most of us normal people. This speech was given by Luis von Ahn, the inventor of CAPTCHA. It explains how it came about, how it is being used and where it is going. You can watch it here: ted/talks/luis_von_ahn_massive_scale_online_collaboration.html The end result is Duolingo A website that will teach you how to read and write a foreign language while simultaneously translating the Web into foreign languages.
