JillN- re:"These devices will supplement and enhance and broaden use..."

Hi JillN,

I agree with your insightful comment.

If you study history and technology, the introduction of a new communication technology tends to amplify the use of all other communication technologies- print, fax, mail, phone, radio, tv, computer.

It appears a communication technology is never replaced or dies or slows down; it is converted, like telegraph to phone.

There somehow seems to be this perception that this is as advanced as we will get, and that there is an "end". Your mypoic comment reminds me that we are as advanced as a 16th century european reading this new fangled thing spewed off the revolutionary new invention- the printing press!

I sometimes think the human race is a hive, our purpose is to achieve collective consciousness and the history of man's development of communications is the evidence.

Just my opinion.

Jon :)
