This Is Ground Control

Most of my communication is of the reactionary sort. I like to gather information on a subject before I respond to it. Like most, I can communicate in many ways. I am typety-type-typing as we speak (so to speak), and that’s certainly one way I can communicate. I can type an email, I can type up a letter to be mailed or handed out as a memo, I can type messages into a phone, or on MSN messenger. Typing is one way I can communicate. 

I can also write or print those same messages.

I can communicate directly with someone through facial expressions and speech . Hello. Can you here me? I do this by understanding a language, and through the sounds and expressions I can make and understand. I can be disinterested with a grunt, angered or pained with a yell, satisfied with a purr, and happy with a smile. 

I can also communicate by recording myself onto video. I can film myself doing any manner of thing on video, and communicate to a viewer through playback. I can put this video onto videotape, I can put it on DVD, CD, Blue Ray, I can send it through my phone, etc. etc. 

I can also record my voice and have that played back to communicate with an audience. This can be listened to on tape, vinyl, CD, DVD, and forth, and forth, and forth. 

Wow! I have so many ways to communicate and I haven’t even listed holograms, crystal balls, mind control, or the subversive ways that humans beings communicate and don’t even realize.
