Hello Jason C, Jason B, Pln, Claire, Alberto and all Pln, very good questions!
I believe that in 200 years we won't change much our way of communicating with each other face-to-face. I mean, babies will keep communicating with gestures, animals with their feelings and behaviours and so forth. On the other hand, the technology that we use to communicate will improved even more, I don't know how much because when I think it's the limit, the other day they surprise me with new improvements. Italians are well-known for their 'needs' to use their hands and arms to express what they want LOL. I'm not good at it, but sometimes when I'm talking about something that I don't have complete knowledge, for instance when I'm trying to say something in English that I don't know, I need to use my hands and arms to help myself to express what I want to. It shows me that sometimes words are not enough to express ourselves. Isn't it? Claire, it's impressive how people, sometimes, can express themselves without any words, just with eyes and facial gestures. It's indeed the highest level of communication. It would be perfect if scientists discovered more about the 6th sense and how we could improve it. Good day for you all!
