English Games - Fun & Interactive English Online Games & Activities For Kids Language is the basis of a child's being. It determines their future and how well they understand other subjects.

The people who were comfortable at this humanities-technology intersection helped to create the human-machine symbiosis that is at the core of this story. In his book about the history of the digital revolution, Walter Isaacson contends that the major innovations of the digital revolution—from the first general-purpose computer to the transistor to the iPhone—were all created by individuals who understood how to synthesize the humanities with technology.
