....messages were sent by semaphore and smoke signals. The trouble was that conveying even the shortest, simplest, message took great effort and concentration. Every letter in every word had to be spelt out carefully. In these modern times where we fire off texts and emails in moments, communication is much quicker. But is it any less prone to misunderstanding?
There is a lot to be said for stopping and thinking before saying anything, to anyone, ever. And, just as there is a lot to be said for not saying a lot - there is a lot to be said for listening very carefully.
