Questions from the back of the card: Communication

the interesting idea... the start of this project... the conversations to come

I'm a member of Post Crossing, the internet site for postcard exchange. I sent a card to another Post Crosser, Ilona from Germany. She asked that people tell her which magical power they would like to have. Her question really made me think!

In turn, I thought it would be an interesting project to ask people to pose Thought-Provoking Questions. I would do my best to answer with my opinion, and I would encourage others to add theirs.

And, so was born this blog! I hope that it will be the home for many interesting conversations in the year ahead!

Greetings, Spaceling!

Kate, from Russia, asks

What would you say the first time you meet an "alien"?

Well, first... did I go somewhere to encounter this person? If it was a long trip, I'd probably ask "where's the restroom?"

If the alien came to my neighborhood, I'm not sure WHAT I'd ask... Offer a brewski? I'll be thinking about this one all day!

Gone the way of the teletype?

Claire wonders, as I have myself,

Now that we are in the digital age, will handwritten cards and letters make a comeback?

A recent article in the New York Times exclaimed that we no longer make phone calls. Communication that once took place via phone conversation now thrives via text message and email. I just hope that the handwritten note doesn't disappear altogether, following the phone call into oblivion!
