‘The age of miracles is over,’ they say, attributing the wonders of today's world to technology. But if the advertisement for a ‘Language Translator’ is to be believed, we must continue to accept marvels. With this personal pocket computer it is claimed that, ‘You can communicate in a foreign country without speaking the language, or you can learn the language more easily thanks to a new electronic miracle.’ We are further told that the gadget translates words and phrases into and out of six languages.
