 Donald Kenrick as polyglot
In the age of information technology we have to ask whether this is still a model to which to aspire, or whether it is a talent superseded by the computer.
The most striking fact he claimed to discover was that most of these polyglots agreed that they did not know more than about seven foreign languages ‘completely’, in the sense of being able to speak them fluently and read new and differing texts without any difficulty.
As this experience was forgotten however, advances in computing brought forward a new wave of enthusiasm in the mid-1970s, suggesting that, if not now, at some time in the next 20 years machine translation would be used to save time and money in all non-fiction fields.

 DJ - Distributed Java
In functional languages, functions are first-class citizens, which means they can be passed as arguments to other functions along with being normally evaluated to compute a value.
On the other hand, the Java programming language belongs to the object-oriented paradigm, in which the fundamental unit of abstraction is the object, and values are computed by asking questions of objects by invoking their methods.
