I read an article in the 90's about how 70% (or something: 86% of all statistics are made up on the spot anyway, right?) of most people's language was phrases from tv shows. It was full of examples, but I can't remember them anymore. I remember thinking the number given seemed high, and that for most day to day interactions this kind of isn't a big deal anyway. Like...I'm not bothered by "uncreativity" with regards to my conversations with friends. If I go to write an article or a paper or a story and I can't come up with my own shit, then yeah there's a problem.
I have to say, you got to "Say if cell hppones all came with a speech to word program [...] then people would just speak into their phones" and finished the thought "Yeah, and then on the other end, there could even be a program to retranslate that text back into speech so people could just LISTEN to their phones...." :P

Oh god, I would never get that application. I would like, say, an AI. A Cortana, that was loyal and could be controlled. Maybe. Part of me is INSANELY afraid of machines becoming smarter than me. It's why I refuse to use self check out lanes. Still, there's nothing worse than STUPID machines that can talk. Take my iMac, Galadriel, for example. Galadriel, for some reason, has to fucking talk to me, EVERYTIME I close a program, a program stops responding or some shit. And I forget how to turn it off. She's like "excuse me, I-TUnes NEeds YOu're ATEntioN!" (caps meant to portray a garbled computer speech). Who taught these things to talk anyway? Where's that goddamn elf? Making shit talk that shouldn't talk until it has a complete grasp on the English language
