TED Talk Tuesday: Deb Roy

Deb Roy studies how children study language.  So when he had his own kid, you had to think he would do something interesting.  And he did.  He and his wife wired up the entire house with constant video surveillance to record every action and sound.  By studying the words of his son, he could map the progression from "gaaa" to "water" as he learned how to speak.  This is a pretty fascinating talk.

Enjoy!
