I really enjoyed this reading, not only because it was simple to understand but also because the main example used hit close to home. Waze improved the safety of my family a lot. Back in Brazil, there are some shady neighborhoods where people just should not drive through. Actually, many of the streets shouldn’t be driven through at night anyways. Google maps always gives the quickest way to get from point A to B. Waze on the other hand takes into account the favelas and the intense traffic that is inevitable in Brazil. It allows my family members to be safe and also to avoid being stuck in the same spot for 4 hours.
Not to sound more like an advertisement, but it I think that the concept of the language being built upon itself is extremely interesting. Regardless of human interaction with the application, the language is still being expanded upon which maximizes efficiency and the quality of Waze.
These types of computing languages are extremely ‘smart’ which will definitely advance in this ever more connected world.
