Google Launches Starter Kit For A More Consistent Web

June 21, 2014 / Paul / 0 Comments

But after hearing the original unprocessed version, suddenly your brain is able to make sense of what before sounded like gibberish. It’s a similar phenomenon to optical illusions where your eyes only see a specific image until other details are revealed, like the well-known old/young woman trick.
