I might not be a fan of Jean-Luc Godard, but I do have to give him credit for creating what I would consider to be the most amazing, terrifying voice ever to to be featured in a film. HAL just seems like an amateur after listening to this old computer grumble existential questions into a mechanical larynx.
Before you watch this, I suggest you lower the lights and turn up the volume. Berets are also welcome.
While we're on the subject of mechanical larynges, here's a video of one particularly amazing innovation called the Trutone Electolarynx that allows you to modulate your pitch with the touch of a button.
If you can't already tell, I have a paper due tomorrow.
