More cool stuff coming from the MIT Media Lab, the inventors of Scratch and App Inventor. Take a look here at one of their latest projects, creating a language based on GIFs. Their website uses 2 of my favorite social good angles: crowd sourcing to evaluate UX (user experience) to make ideas easier to share through human-computer interaction. Check it out! They take the rating you give to how an image makes you feel, then quantify everyone's responses to the same set of GIFs to come up with common ways people react to them. And since language is made up of symbolic ways group of people share meaning, it looks like these researchers plan to come up with GIF sequencing, kind of like how Scratch groups animation into "blocks" of code, to build a type of universal language.
