This blog has sort of taken on a life of it's own with well over 27,000 articles published here. I find people research all sorts of things because I still find people reading things from years past here today.

Many newspapers and other publications only keep one year so I suppose for research you are bound to find things (if I reported on them here in the first place) from years past that might be useful to you. One of the ways  to do this is to go to either the left top search window for this site and type in a subject or date or possibly both or to your right, right above the Google Translate is another search window for this site I believe.

So, if you get the right subject words it should come up with something you want if that subject has been addressed here at this site.

Another less convenient way would be to look in years by clicking on a year. However, that is much more time consuming for most of us even though I have done that too. So, sometimes if I'm trying to research more about something I blogged about in the past I will usually try first the two search windows on the page.

I have also tried to translate with Google Translate French and other languages to English using either Google Translate here embedded on this page or using google translate out at it's own site.

However, whenever you use Google Translate just remember don't expect over 70% accuracy in the translations because it isn't a human being doing the translation. Over time, however, using maybe something like SIRI and other translators using human language verbally I expect the accuracy to be much higher because of the way they operate is more like how humans tend to think about things or process information.

So, even though it is mimicking human thought and communication and possibly even intuition it is getting closer and closer to actually resembling a real human being every day.

Though this might seem creepy to you I think we need to get prepared for this by 2025 or 2030 where you might not be able to tell the difference easily between robotics and actual humans simply because your Iphone is going to be smarter than any one human being by 2025. This is expected at present.
