Social Hacking

I had another interesting lecture in my language technology course today (not today anymore). It was about (at least the interesting part) interaction with dialog systems and how humans communicate. We humans have a set of unwritten “rules” when it comes to communicating. These rules will for example tell you who's turn it is to talk. These rules are something that we learn very early on, maybe even before we learn to speak. For example when someone ends there sentence with a question, you know that it is your turn to talk.
These rules can also be exploited. Politicians are often very skilled at this and used it to a point when it starts to get amusing (yes, I think its fun to see these things in action). Just watch any questioning of a politician and see how they keep the word until they have finished there whole answer. They never make a pause or give an end to there answer unless they are really finished with there answer.
Lost my train of though...
