I read this recently and don‘t remember where: The computerization of communications-the storage & instant transmission of huge amounts of data is the third great communications revolution in human history, the first being the written alphabet and the second the printing press. People find the virtual reality on the computer screens more attractive than every day reality.
Computer -$500
I Phone - Astronomical
Scenic views - Priceless
Mountains rising over the sun,
Breaking the day one by one.
Each peak a Rushmore with faces pale,
Or an Everest for our dreams to scale.
Signs of Vesuvius sail from the East,
Buffs of power now slaves to the breeze.
There reigns Olympus of ominous fame,
Are there no Gods - Then why thunder and rain?
Yes, you point to Sinai and the fire on the Mount
Flashes of glory remove all doubt.
Someone prays and the hills disappear,
You can see Mt. Zion when the sky is clear.
There sits an angel playing his harp,
Do clouds float in Heaven?
No, Heaven they are.

Communications!!??
I can't imagine a time that communications were not possible. Adam was a genius, named the animals and probably created some sort of alphabet during his spare time; if he retired at 100 years old, he had 800 years of retirment to fill up. He did not have a computer or printing press, but probably did use some sort of ink on rock or animal skin.
Our brain is an organic, miniture computer. It has taken us humans 6,000 years to even approximate the capabilities of what GOD designed into the brain cell. Wow.
Praise to the Creator.
