Top Tech Trends Manufacturers Need to Watch in 2018 Rootstock Software

An old episode of The Simpsons predicted how smartphones would someday need to self-correct annoying spelling mishaps on the phone's keyboard. "Lisa on Ice" – a Season 6, Episode 8 show which aired way back in 1994- opens in a Springfield Elementary School assembly where Kearney asks fellow bully Dolph to take a memo on his Newton to "Beat up Martin." When the machine translates the message into "Eat up Martha," it is signaling how common text messaging errors can be blamed on their phone's lack of autocorrect technology. By 2013, Apple had perfected the autocorrect technology for smartphone keyboards. Nitin Ganatra, Apple's former director of engineering for iOS applications, explained "If you heard people talking and they used the words Eat up Martha, it was basically a reference to the fact that we needed to nail the keyboard. We needed to make sure the text input works on this thing otherwise- Here comes the Eat up Martha's."
