Summary According to the Bible, God created the confusion of languages as a punishment for man's arrogance. Today, with the help of technology, we are getting better at bridging the world's language barriers. But do tools like Google Translate make us understand each other better or worse? We meet linguistics professor Philip Resnik in a conversation about language and new technology. Translators Monica Silverstrand and Brian Hobbs talk about how the art of translation is affected by the new technology. We also visit the Colombia University Language Center in New York.
