Communication

The marvels of modern communication would have seemed like science fiction a few years ago.
It is wonderful that we can get messages to family and friends in split seconds. My wife and I
have a webcam and enjoy seeing and hearing our daughter and family in the UK. A great neice of mine has just gone as an exchange teacher to the USA and I have just spoken to her on the phone. But of course, communication must involve more than technology. There must be mutuality. Technology alone cannot overcome loneliness. That takes the old-fashioned thing called love. And that is what the world needs more than anything else.
