Paper

My goal with this paper was to explore the concept of language emotionality within multiple fields, and how convenience culture has led humanity to a rudimentary understanding of language and a reliance on technology to do so. I look at medical practices, poetry, X (formally Twitter) posts, and more.

For my second product, I created an analytical portfolio of poetry, comparing human translations to Google Translate using a variety of different scoring categories.

Question I was often asked:

"What do you use if not Google Translate?"

My third product sought to answer this question, providing the viewer with multiple alternatives to overcoming language barriers. I wanted to remind my audience that humanity existed before convenience culture, and it is possible to get back to that.
