Plumbing

One of our marvelous inventions…to circulate liquid through spaces, sometimes in gravity defying ways. Prior to modern plumbing, we carried it. Or, did without. Now, it’s a given. We don’t concern ourselves with it.

Idea flow and human connection also has its plumbing. First, the spoken word, moved along through storytelling. Then written manuscripts, telegrams, telephones, radio and TV. Now, the internet and a camera and microphone in nearly everyone’s hand has change the landscape once again.

What’s the next plumbing problem to solve? How can we make connection even better?
