I was just wondering about the size of the world. R Buckminster Fuller once wrote an essay about the size of the world once. He concluded that it was getting smaller every day. Not in physical size, but in functional size. We travel faster, communicate faster, and I guess we use it's resources up and populate it faster too. Apparently this ezine is popular amongst the English speaking in India. For a time, we were getting a lot of subscribers from China. We have several articles translated into German and Spanish. ...and I write this blog from my dinner table in Tasmania. Our dogs come from all over the world, yet they speak a common language. That's pretty cool when you think about it, a dog from China could just as easily communicate with my dogs in Tasmania as they could with other Chinese dogs. Except I guess they would have to learn to type... but if they met in person, they would have no trouble communicating. Yet how much time do we spend learning about how dogs really communicate? I hear all sorts of stuff about how dogs communicate. So many of it contradicts what someone else says about it, though. With the world "shrinking" at such a rapid rate, and the ease with which we can communicate with people all over the world, I wonder if we will ever develop a common language? Dogs are thousands of years ahead of us on that one!
