As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike
qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. Apple’s
Siri digital assistant unveiled a gender-neutral option last year,
and when asked about their gender identities, the AI chatbots
ChatGPT and Google Bard each reply, “I do not have a gender.”
There have been concerns over gendering technology,
since doing so reinforces societal stereotypes. That happens
because the stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as
competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those
associated with women. That is likely true, says Ashley Martin, a
professor at Stanford University. “People are stereotyping their
gendered objects in very traditional ways,” she says.
Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a
simple way to fix this. Yet, as Martin has found in her latest
research, conducted with Malia Mason, of Columbia Universty,
gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections
with objects, particularly those designed to evoke human
characteristics.
Throughout the experiments, Martin and Mason found
that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to devices
such as digital voice assistants –– and their interest in purchasing
them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to
buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or
female voices.

In many parts of the world colonial hegemony has
resulted in the dominance of the coloniser's language at the
expense of native languages. The suppression of indigenous
languages is intricately connected with mental health problems.
Indigenous youth with less knowledge of their native language
are six times more likely to have suicidal ideation than those
with greater language knowledge. Language suppression impairs
self-identity, wellbeing, self-esteem, and empowerment.
Just as language extinction can affect mental health, so
can reinstating a language. Aboriginal youth who are capable of
speaking their native language are less likely to consume alcohol
or use illicit substances at risky amounts, and are less likely to be
exposed to violence. Moreover, knowledge of indigenous
languages is associated with a decrease in youth suicide by 50% a
year.
The digital recording of indigenous languages might be
useful for documentation, restoration, promotion, and education.
Sufficient fund allocation is required to recover and store the
alphabets of indigenous languages. Separate indigenous language
educational institutes, in which researchers and mental health
professionals can work in cooperation, are also extremely
necessary. These concerted efforts might help result in the
renewal of a given indigenous language and potentially reduce
mental health problems.

Communication involves not only knowing the context and interlocutors but also having knowledge of
the linguistic resources available to achieve specific communicative purposes. Linguistic or systemic
knowledge refers to the understanding of how language works, including its structure, grammar,
vocabulary, and discourse. It involves knowing how to use different types of language in different
contexts, such as formal and informal, spoken and written, and different genres, such as narrative,
descriptive, and argumentative. Linguistic knowledge also includes an understanding of the
relationship between language and meaning, including figurative language, metaphors, and idioms. In
short, having linguistic knowledge is an essential aspect of successful communication in any language.

The Latest Avatar 3
Adapted from the internet
The latest Avatar 3 updates have confirmed that Captain Mick Scoresby (Brendan Cowell) will return for Avatar 3. This could spell either good news or bad for the next Avatar instalment, as his storyline was similar to Quaritch’s in that it was presumed he bit the dust, only to come back for another sequel. In addition, Zoe Saldana recently gave a filming update while speaking to Entertainment Tonight. While director James Cameron had stated that filming is nearly done for Avatar 3 back in 2020, Saldana reported to ET that the crew was going back to film for the summer, and that the process was “70% done there”.
That being said, conflicting Avatar 3 updates come from a Q&A session with producer John Landau, who said that Avatar 3 and the first act of Avatar 4 were filmed simultaneously with Avatar 2. Either way, the consensus is the sequel is nearly done with the filming process. In the same Q&A, Landau revealed that Avatar 3 will introduce two new Na’vi cultures. "But we're going to meet at least two new clans in the next movie, culturally, and go on and on as we continue that," Landau said. Likely one of these new cultures will be the fire Na’vi, of which Oona Chaplin's Varang will be a part of.
In addition, other Avatar 3 updates have confirmed two major character returns. The first is that of Avatar: The Way of Water's breakout character Payakan, the gentle and intelligent Tulkun. In an interview with The Wrap, Landau confirmed that Payakan would be back for Avatar 3, saying, "I always viewed Payakan a little bit like Lassie. And I would say this is a story like a boy and his dog, and they’re both outcasts, and they need each other." In the same interview, Landau also stated that the Avatar secondary villain Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi), who was absent for the sequel, would come back in a major way for Avatar 3.
“each other”, underlined in the text (paragraph 3),

Imagery first: the colors primary
Familiar as the sun; the purpose sure –
To hear, to smell, to feel, to taste, to see.
The mind will enter by another door.
The verb is next: we are the rain that falls,
The frog that sees a cricket as it leaps,
The robin that flaps its wings and calls,
The fish that swims, the animal that creeps.
The third is narrative, the moving spell
Of syntax that ad-libs the myths of time.
Alas, we learn before the wishing well
Has dried how words become a hill to climb.
The fourth is symbol: goodness, beauty, love.
This is the time of quarrel, tears and pain.
Sowing the dragons’ teeth, we bob and weave
Until we bring the simple back again.
