Visualize Language Acquisition - See Social Interaction

This Deb Roy TEDtalk is a stunning example of directions that data visualization might go - even complex data like thousands of hours of video and audio. Linking that to the study of people (language acquisition in this case) demonstrates how it might be used in person-to-person interactions but also within wide populations as well (the Obama speech that is analyzed).

What doesn't this kind of analysis tell us? What gets left out? What are the hazards?
