What Are You Trying to Say?

Some of the best inventions of 2002 had to do with translating. The Braille Glove turns sign language into text for deaf people, the Dog Translator lets people know what dogs mean in English when they bark, and the Infoscope helps in translating signs and posters in other languages into their equivalents in English. These may only be prototypes at the moment, but technology is improving all the time despite fears that we may meet with the wrath of God for overstepping our bounds.
