In today's hustle and bustle of everyday life, men, women, and children walk past one another without even a friendly smile or hello. As global technology grows, communication between individuals gets more distant and less personal. Even in families, messages are left on the answering machine or as notes on the fridge. Therefore, with todays' highly competitive technological world, it is vital to receive and maintain some old-fashioned inter-personal communication. Communication throughout history progresses from face-to-face to smoke signals, to the Pony Express to Canada Post, to the telephone to telex machines to modems. The fax machine is so impersonal that neither voice nor hand writing are used, and personality is lost. Now a video link where the person can see the caller and feel a personal touch, is trying to re-establish the original methods while using high-tech systems. Thus, as technology increases, we can clearly see attempts to get back to the old way through usage of time saving methods. One benefit of high-tech communications systems is the ability to make previously impossible communications possible. Think of the father and son separated by an ocean, one in England, the other in Newfoundland. This is where the telephone plays a role.
