The Expression of the Day

Not being able to talk but use only illustrations or charades to communicate was very difficult.  Observing the reactions of students and teachers who were either confused or understood the message being conveyed was very amusing.  The people that struggled to communicate about a topic, other than a simple yes or no, became frustrated and usually gave up.  In psychology, David was trying to ask me a question about a different class and it took five minutes longer just to decipher  and answer the simple question.  Although it would take less than a minute to verbally communicate, it took much longer through illustrations but when the questions was answered both of us were very happy. This can be related to Postman's reference to the smoke signals because it shows the struggles of expressing details without speaking or writing .
