If you didn't already know, we now have devices by which people can speak (or at least a machine speak for them) to people in foreign countries without learning the language even a bit. Presumably the number of people who use such devices will increase substantially. In addition there are also numerous online translation sites. So my question is, will an international auxiliary language be anywhere near as necessary in future as it was when Baha'u'llah spoke about it? If I can go to a foreign country and communicate fine without learning the language, how important is it for me to know a universal language?
