Essenital in all forms of human activity are communications.  They are the means by which ideas are conveyed from the mind of one person to the minds of others. Communications are necessary in all associations.  For any unit of society to function - to exist - it must be held together by a bond, and that bond is its communications, adequate to itself.  Communication is a medium through which the ideas of the members in any group are interchanged.  It is these that integrate them into a coherent unit.  It is communication in fact which differentiates between human and static life; between the tree and the animal - the tree cannot communicate with its fellow or among its parts; it is doomed to remain an solitary individual in space. Out of the gradual growth of communications, villages have sprung into towns; towns have become countries; and empires have built up. Now, with the perfection of communications, we move towards the "one world of the visionaries."
