Communications
No matter how technical we get, we as a species still need to connect to each other on a more intimate level. Whether on the phone, one the Web, or through a well-written letter. We need to know that there are others out there who love us and want to be loved by us. If you can find the strength to smile, you’ll never be truly alone.
