An Interview with the Creator of Autocorrect




The Daily Dive show

Summary: Today we speak to a guy that most people love and hate. He is the inventor of the touchscreen keyboard autocorrect for the original iPhone. Sometimes autocorrect saves your life, other times it just gets in the way. We will speak to Ken Kocienda who was a software engineer and designer for more than 15 years and he has a new book out about working during the Golden Age of Steve Jobs. I’ll even ask why auto correct always writes out DUCK when you’re trying to type ****. Next, it was a spectacular fall we all witnessed for a man once known as America’s Dad. Bill Cosby was sentenced to 3-10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand and was taken away after his hearing in handcuffs, an image that many thought they would never see. Cosby was accused of sexual misconduct and rape by 60 women. Claudia Rosenbaum, reporter for Buzzfeed News, joins us for more on Cosby and his classification as a sexually violent predator.
