Summary | German car manufacturers are working on voice-operated artificial intelligence assistants in cars which can operate navigation systems, phonecalls, text messages, and music selection. Operating this technology verbally is the most safe option while driving. The voice recognition is now so advanced thanks to lots of research and data collection that it can even understand voice commands in regional dialects.

Summary | In his new book called "Facebook generation", Roberto Simanowski positions himself between the cultural pessimists and the digital euphorics. He does fear for our language competence and tied to it our memory. We tend to posts selfies and emojis rather than put our feelings into words. We tend to post a link to a song, a video, or an article rather than paraphrase that information make our point in an original sentence. This leads to the degeneration of our language ability and that inability to process information in our own words prevents the creation of memories. Instead we leave a huge digital data trail online.
