In the age of the internet, people are being drawn
closer and closer— you can Snapchat your friend from Turkey, video call
your parents on their fancy vacation, send a quick text to your old pen
pal (now your new keyboard pal) in Japan.

But as the world is drawn closer together, our attention spans are becoming more and more commodified. We spend hours scrolling through Instagram, while spending less time engaging with each other directly.

Technology has incredible potential to bring people together, but when people are left out, whether as a result of disabilities, race, ethnicity, or otherwise, it can be a divisive and isolating force. Thanks to natural language processing, we’re starting to fill in these gaps between people to build a more accessible future.
