I'll allude to an upcoming post...I just got an iPhone 4S. Yeah it took a while, and I had anxiety over switching to a phone with data charges, higher radiation, hardly a battery life, and instant access to everything I could dream. Over a week, the transformation in my life, unspeakable. I have mobility of today's fast-moving world. Anywhere I stand (within a populous city), I can be in-the-know. No longer do I have to worry about missing an important email, or needing to bring along directions. This technology frees up the stress brought on by our own technology. Perhaps, it was the same back when Alexander Graham Bell talked to Watson on the first phone. What was happening then that prompted the innovation?

 Was there something like it in ancient times?

Mayhaps.
