Lost In Communication

What is going on with communication today? Not only have we killed all the classical means of communication, but also we have forgotten what it meant to make use of them. It is not that I am against the use of new ways of communication, it is all that outbreak of extra information we get almost unwillingly and instantly what I am sick of.

Some years ago, the only way we had to communicate in the distance was via letter or using the telephone. And of course, by telephone I don’t mean mobile phone, I mean going down to the nearest phone booth to make a call. It was the person who received that phone call or letter who really appreciated all the effort that had been made in order to perform this act of communication.

If we compare it with today means of communication, all that stories behind a phone call or a letter have been missing somewhere, and the fact that we can say hello only by pressing some virtual buttons in our smartphones anytime and anywhere, has made people take for granted that to get in touch so easily is something that has always been there.

Personally, I miss those times when you heard from people once in a blue moon. Knowing so much about everyone all the time is something I wish I could do without, but it looks as if it is too late to come back to classical communication.
