Information technology
It’s always been useful to know what’s going on, which way the buffalo were roaming and what time the next bus was coming to take us there. We’ve been gathering information ever since we came down from the trees. Indeed I bet we knew a thing or two about leaves before that eventful day we decided to descend.
Over the years we’ve adopted many ways to enhance our senses, with a view to gathering more of this precious information. The grinding of good quality glass into shapes that bend light brought distant images into view and soon the search was on for a similar breakthrough in sound…
...with differing degrees of success I suspect.
