Hi Dave, I think it's about time we all switch to "telepathy" This is way more efficient than changing voice signals into digital signals and transmitting these signals over space to be decoded at the other end. It's no wonder the world is in such a state! I understand that the US intelligence community (an oxymoron) is working on this solution as we speak (so to speak)but they are having problems with channel separation. The result is that the half the world's population by gender are in what amounts to be a huge conference call with the other half. This maybe the reason they have classified this as a "disruptive technology"
