Happy Early Christmas Acellus Community!
Happy Holidays!!
I didn’t know that the iphone was the one that first had the touch screen.
I already knew of the Apple typing AI because of the Autocorrect, but I thought it was only used for the Autocorrect. Now I know it’s also used for ease of typing! It’s definitely a strange system, but if it works, it works! I do wonder what the other keyboard prototypes looked like. I’d guess that they’d look a bit silly. Thank you!
I love watching science live!
Happy Holidays!!

Hello from Texas!
This science lecture was helpful and explained the topic in a clear way. It helped me better understand the material.
how may things did Thomas Edison invent
Area 51 is so funny
watching
I’ve seen eddison light bulbs in the store, are they named that because of the particular design inside that light bulb ?
I’m grateful the keyboard on the phone today makes typing a lot easier for the user. I remember seeing my mom’s old phone with the physical small keyboard with it. If i remember correctly, the buttons were really small 😅
hahahahah
Hello from West Virginia! really loved todays episode.
Poor r51 🙁
Science live is the best !
Thank you!
Oh, R-51 seems to be alive, that is good to know he’s okay. That was a good lesson to not play with electricity.
so funny
hello
I love r-51
How many years did it take Eddison to create the vacuum?
This is so much better than normal school
Hi i’m here
wow thats amazing
i enjoyed
Moral of the story is that if there’s something you can’t understand, there’s something remarkable behind it; something worth studying.
Approximately how long would it take to change all those vacuum tubes?
r-51, are you okay?
hahaha this episode was really fun. The more these go, the better they get. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas
I like science live

Hi, I’m watching with my mom and dad.
Thanks for teaching us about the Edison Effect!
Thomas Edison’s knowledge of the light bulb was clever. It clearly took a lot of people and their brilliant brains to make it happen. My mom always thought Mr. Edison invented the light bulb.
Don’t play with electricity! 🔌
Science live is the best
During “Project Purple” How do AI algorithms determine the intended key press rather than the exact point of contact on the screen?
