It takes a long time to develop something this complex for widespread commercial use. the good news is the prototype and concept are proven and work. I would say its now about making it into something convenient well polished and adaptable.

Homosexual activists understand the power of words.

Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".

The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationsh­ip being discussed.

The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

I was just about to say that this is very similar to something ive seen on TED before, and then she mentions it.

Humans have something around 21 senses. Besides sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, there is sense of tempurature, including drops and raises in temp. We have the ability to judge speeds of objects and whether they will hit us if we cross the street. We can sense tension in conversations. These are all senses.
