Technology Shrinks Distances
1st Revolution with invention of writing system
(5000 years ago)
2nd Revolution with invention of written book
(1300 BC, China)
3rd Revolution with Gutenbergs invention of
printing press (1450 AD) and
4th Revolution is the new information revolution
since 1950s.
Chip performance will double every 18 months
Moores law
Storage doubles every 9 months.
Communication bandwidth will triple every 12
months Gilders law

Technology Shrinks Distances
Prof Raj Reddy of Carnegie Mellon University
predicts after 10 years from now we shall be
getting at the same cost the processing power 100
times, the storage 1000 times, and the band-width
10,000 times. Computing and communication ICT
will be affordable, easy to use and pervasive.
Ray Kurzweil, an informatics guru, predicts
Within 10 years, a 1000-dollar computer will be
able to perform more than one trillion
calculations a second,
Within the first quarter of next century, a
similarly priced computer will match the human
brain, and a few years later, a thousand dollar
will buy rich kids the computational capacity of
one thousand human brains.

Future Direction Information Interspace
The Interspace represents the third wave in the
ongoing evolution of the Global Information
Infrastructure, driven by rapid advances in
computing and Information Technology.
The technological progress of knowledge exchange
has occurred in three waves, each building on the
previous one.
The wave pattern roughly describes four
distinct phases of functionality
fundamental research (trough),
development of prototype systems (ascent),
emergence of commercial systems (crest), and
mass propagation (descent).

Paradigm Shift in Computer Processing Data
Information Knowledge

Within the Next decade , computing technology
will transform the Internet into Interspace.
Concept Navigation will become standard function
in the Interspace just as document browsing is in
the Internet.

Networking with Humane Sensitivity?
na hi jnaanen sadrasham pavitramih vidyate
Nothing is so pious like Knowledge. - Shrimad
bhagwad Gita, 4.38
A people become poor and enslaved when they are
robbed of the tongue left them by their
ancestors they are lost forever. - Ignazio
Bittira, Sicilia Poet
Distances will shrink. Information will flow.
Whether people will have innate sense of
communication across linguistic and cultural
diversities? Challenge ahead is Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam that is "the whole earth is a family"
- whether emerging technologies will imbibe
family-like bondage of love, kindness,
sensitivity and cooperation establishing peace
and harmony.

Knowledge defies economic principle of scarcity.
Knowledge is not scarce in traditional sense.
The more you use it and pass it on, the more it
proliferates. It is "infinitely expansible" or
"non-rival in consumption". It can be replicated
cheaply and consumed over and over again.
Knowledge is more difficult to measure than
traditional inputs such as steel or labour.
However future prosperity of rich economies will
depend both on their ability to innovate and on
their ability to adjust to change.
The economist Brian Arthur argues increasing
returns will magnify the market leaders
advantage.

Is there gain in knowledge or loss of knowledge ?
From an estimated 10,000 world languages in 1900,
about 6,700 language survived in 2000. Two
percent of the world's languages are becoming
extinct every year.
With the loss of a language, we lose art and
ideas, scientific information and technological
innovation capacity.
UNESCO study (1999) of 65 languages 49 of the
languages (75) had experienced real decline in
number of works translated from these languages
into other languages. Worlds 140 most published
authors 90 out of 140 were English writers in
1994 compared to 64 out of 140 in 1980.
Proportion for English arose from 43 in 1980 to
over 57 in 1994.
The share held by top four translated languages
(English, Spanish, French and German) rose from
65 percent in 1980 to 81 percent in 1994.
There is collapse in authorship, translation and
quality in other languages.
World-level literacy is improving. More people
can read than ever before, but fewer people
create stories.
There is tendency from being creators to
consumers at the time when technology could have
amplified our creative capacities.
Cultural Erosion!

Linguistic Scenario in India
Eighteen constitutional Indian Languages are
mentioned as follows with their scripts within
parentheses Hindi (Devanagari), Konkani
(Devanagari), Marathi (Devanagari), Nepali
(Devanagari), Sanskrit (Devanagari), Sindhi
(Devanagari/Urdu), Kashmiri (Devanagari/Urdu)
Assamese (Assamese), Manipuri (Manipuri), Bangla
(Bangali), Oriya (Oriya), Gujarati (Gujarati),
Punjabi (Gurumukhi), Telugu (Telugu), Kannada
(Kannada), Tamil (Tamil), Malayalam (Malayalam)
and Urdu (Urdu). There are 10 Indic Scripts in
vogue.
Indian languages owe their origin to Sanskrit.
They have in common rich cultural heritage and
treasure of knowledge. Indic scripts have
originated from Brahmi script. Less than 5 of
people can either read write English. Over 95
population is normally deprived of the benefits
of English-based Information Technology.
Characteristics of Indian Languages
What You Speak Is What You Write (WYSIWYW)
Script grammar - transformation rules
Relatively word order free
Common phonetic based alphabet
Common concept terms (from Sanskrit)

Technology Development for Indian Languages
(TDIL)
A B C Technology Development Phases
India aware of the technological changes and the
local constraints has taken up Development of
Language Technology in three phases
1976-1990 A-Technology Phase
Focus was on Adaptation Technologies abstraction
of requisite technological designs and competence
building in RD institutions.
1991-2000 B-Technology Phase

Localization
There are three related terms in vogue -
Globalisation, Internationalisation and
Localisation.
Globalisation facilitates free trade across
borders. New markets (round the clock all over
world), new technologies (interact over
separation in time and space) and new players
(Multi National Corporations) become important.
Technologies are no longer homogenous, they are
heterogeneous new meanings can be given in
different cultural settings.
Internationalisation is an intermediate attempt
towards localization by way of translation and
enablement. This may include local to Unicode
code-conversion, example-base in the context of
globalization, and globalization considerations
in user interface design.
Localisation may be defined as the technological
fusion of language culture.
LISA (Localisation Industry Standards
Association) is promoting GIL activities.

35
Six aspects to localization are Infrastructure,
Input output, Linguistic, Design Content,
Commercial, Legal. Six linguistic issues are
Sentence structure, word wrapping, compound
nouns, agreement, differing perspectives, and
message expansion. Localisation activities may
include website localisation, software
localisation, translation, cross-language
applications, translation memory software,
dictionary management software, code-conversion,
on-the-fly (text and speech) translation,
business transactions, voice activated
telephoning navigation remote diagnosis,
localisation of voice portals. Customer's buying
criteria for localisation tools are Quality,
Non-proprietary products, Faster turn around,
Interoperability, Preserving linguistic and
Cultural diversity, Cross-lingual functionality
integrated into other enterprise applications
also.
36
Culture needs diversity and thrives on
difference. According to Mahatma Gandhi,
"Dominance and exclusivity cannot ultimately
benefit anybody, not even big players, because no
culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive".
Hence there is need for localisation,
internationalisation and globalisation.
37
Currently Localisation is top-down US-driven,
Global icons suppress local contents and create
'accidental' web. But localisation must be
bottom - up local-to-global, must fundamentally
change, look for new markets and cost models,
must use reusable components, must handle
locale-specific issues such as date, time,
color-schemes, hand-signals, gestures, sound,
historical data, product names,
acronyms. Developing nations/ communities should
not remain mere recipient of contents localised
by others. They must become localisers, must
localise their own content and then make it
accessible to all.

through NL understanding language
resources Trend in Speech technology There is
ongoing shift from Speech component research to
research on integrated Speech Systems. Together
with Speech, are the modalities that constitute
full natural human - human communication (e.g..
Gesture, lip movements, facial expression, gaze,
bodily posture) leading towards multimodal
interactive systems. 1970s Speech synthesis
systems used rule-based formant system.
(Formants are transfer function of vocal
tract resonant frequency.) 1990s Concatenated
speech synthesis systems use small pieces of
pre- recorded speech. There is a trend towards
cross-project collaboration, synergy, critical
mass, and deployable scalable technologies.
