Communication Problem

Morse Key - as used by Radio Officers at sea (me) before digital technology made such devices obsolete.

Long ago, (well not THAT long ago), radio was first used commercially.

I have been alive for more than HALF of the time radio has been a thing! …and oh how it has changed in that time. Today’s picture is of a Morse key. (I talk about it and demonstrated how rusty my Morse Code skills are in a recent video.)
I wonder what I would have thought “back then” if I’d known then where radio was heading. Back then I could send and receive morse code as well as most operators and even knew how it worked to a large extent. But everything has changed hasn’t it?
The main thing isn’t so much the technology, although that has moved on beyond recognition, no, the BIG thing is the sheer quantity of communication. Back then I thought I had trouble selecting the specific coast radio station I was trying to talk to, now? well there are just so many forms of communication. That though is just the start of the issue!
Back then I could look at a written Morse telegram and see something like, “looking forward to being you” and think, “oh wait, that can’t be right” that ‘B’ must be a ‘S’ and an ‘E’”.
Today? Well how do we know what is truth anymore?
Having a keen interest in science and physics in particular, I often go back to basics and even try out some simple experiments myself that show that things are the way a theory says they should be. (I did this by making a transformer recently for example. You can see the results of that in the video “transforming Your Mind”.)

Communication is practically and technically far easier today than when I communicated using Morse Code - and as for speed? wow just wow! The problem seems to be with content - not the HOW we communicate but the WHAT!
Care and thought in communication were always important, that importance has escalated to whatever lays beyond vital.
