- 0:00My name is Mackenzie and I started a GoFundMe
- 0:02for the adoptive mother of a non -verbal autistic
- 0:07child. The mother had lost her job because she
- 0:11wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic
- 0:14child. So she really needed some help with living
- 0:18expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched
- 0:21a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis.
- 0:25And we raised about $10 ,000 within just a couple
- 0:31of months. I think that the surprising thing
- 0:34was by telling a clear story and just really
- 0:38being very clear about what we needed, we had
- 0:40some really generous donations from people who
- 0:43were really moved by the situation that this
- 0:45family was struggling with. GoFundMe is the world's
- 0:48number one fundraising platform trusted by over

- 1:37Welcome to 70x80, the 7080 .it section that deepens
- 1:42the topics discussed on the portal. I'm here
- 1:44with journalist Enzo Mauri, who introduces the
- 1:48current topic. that led to the apprenticeship
- 2:07reminded those who in the 90s would have used
- 2:10Telecom Italia for the 12 service. Ah, exactly.
- 2:25The speaking grill was the bright demonstration
- 2:28of how the Texas Instruments, multinational American
- 2:31computer technology, had created, among many
- 2:34products, the very gold mine. In 1976, in fact,
- 2:38I entered trade in the United States by the Udall
- 2:40Professor, sold in a million units, the Antesignano
- 2:43of the speaking grill subjected elementary school
- 2:46children to the solution of small operations.
- 2:48With the name of Speak and Spell, the toy for
- 2:50children, three years later appeared in stores
- 2:53in the... in 1979. The year before it was presented
- 2:56at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show, Chicago's
- 2:59electronics fair. The speaking cricket arrived
- 3:02in Italy in the early 80s, always with the brand
- 3:05Texas Instruments. Distributed in 1984 by Clementoni,
- 3:10it then became an alphabetical speaker of Sapientino
- 3:13still on the market. Speaking cricket, Texas
- 3:16Instruments. An electronic voice for many smart
- 3:20games. The device was made from a keyboard, a
- 3:22fluorescent display, and has 8 characters, a
- 3:24speaker and the handle for transport, all contained
- 3:27by a very resistant and child -like shell. The
- 3:30game provided the undefined mode in which it
- 3:33was necessary to identify a hidden word between
- 3:35the letters of the keyboard. In the code, the
- 3:37written words were modified by exchanging the
- 3:40letters with others in order to form words in
- 3:42code. With the abc function, a word pronounced
- 3:45by the voice of the speaker followed by the command
- 3:48repeat had to be written the same. In case of
- 3:51error, the answer is was rather dry, I do not
- 3:53receive, try again and control. Probably inspired
- 3:56by the 1981 game, the British group The Patch
- 4:00Mode entitled the album Desordio, Speak and Spell.
- 4:03The talking gorilla also appears in the 1982
- 4:06movie ET, the alien, directed by Steven Spielberg,
