According to Dariusz Paczuski, Sr. Director of Tellme Mobile Speech, a unit of Microsoft, “2010 is the year when speech goes mainstream.” Paczuski says that although many speech applications have failed over the years, technology is coming together. Several platform options are opening up for speech-enabled web searches — products like Google Voice, YouTube’s automatic captioning of videos can transcribe speech into text. The so-called speech recognition technology should soon be available everywhere, from your car to just about every mobile device you can think of. Thank the prevalence of high speed internet and cloud networks for this technology to become a viable way to interact with the worldwide web through a smart phone.

Monday, February 11th, 2008I recently purchased a Playstation 3 to evaluate how it accesses your high speed internet through its WiFi technology. At first, I was only thinking about how the PS3 connects to my personal wireless internet, but I did a double take when I realized the system can find unprotected wireless signals from your neighbors.

Another layer of protection is needed to prevent this from happening. In future posts, i will be talking more about this and reporting what we as parents can do to only allow the type of access that is appropriate for each child’s age.
