The best of communication systems will break down if perceptions are wrong .Discuss this view.?

I don't understand your question.

You don't have to convert people to truth.  Waking up does that.  All you have to do is unplug them and they'll see it.

If the ego (fear based 'self') can be transcended by one (micro), then it can, and I believe Will, be transcended by all (macro). I think those who develop beyond the ego into the higher levels of human functioning (agapic reasoning) have no doubts about an enlightened society. Egos can't relate to the concept of a world without egos. It seems far fetched, but then so did going to the moon a hundred years ago. :-)

Let's not be naive, what is right or legal will not stop those with power from learning what they want to know. Our technological advances in the field of communications have presented an irresistible opportunity for those with power to abuse our rights. Our only hope for the future is that these powers are somewhat benevolent torward us. The only place you can know,... really know, that you have privacy, is the thoughts in your head.

Having the ring of truth or plausibility but actually fallacious: a specious argument.

Communication is the foundation of a good relationship.  If you have a hard time talking on the phone without conflict, reserve all the hard discussion for face to face conversations.  Try " I love you and I miss you"  it always works for me.

no. truth is truth, never subjective, otherwise it is just opinion, where the majority may prevail

The worst limitation is that it is not forward looking. It cannot predict the future, only analyze the past, compare and contrast the present with the past.

Wireless devices will be everywhere. The phone, camera, and computer will merge with the internet. Vast databases of information will store, calculate, and notate every change everywhere. We will lose more privacy because of satellite imaging and web cameras. I know communications will become "one touch" access. The way we communicate will make the biggest changes. Look at what engineers have accomplished so far. Electronics is communication.

Well the trend is already showing us that the internet is going to be almost like interactive tv with dynamic content (aka Web 2.0) and video will be found everywhere. We will be able to think of web pages more like channels and eventually it will merge so much with TV that we will probably start using the computer for both surfing and watching shows (example is ABC offering episodes of their tv shows for free on their website).\n\nThe bandwidth of cable is going to go to fiber optics for sure (Verizon has already started offering fiber to the home in parts of the east USA) and once that becomes common place, data transfer will almost be limitless.\n\nWe will become a species of instant information gradification and  totally dependent on information and communication. That is just the sad truth. However, I think it will also allow us to work from home and on the road as mobility will also increase.\n\nAs a technology expert, I am a bit anxious to build this future, as long as they stay out of implants in the skin, I am fine with it all. Every day I am helping to build this future and having fun doing it.\n\nThanks for the question.

I've never seen that before, but it's an intriguing statement.  I can see the truth in it in a way.  If you prefer to turn a blind eye to issues or bury your head in the sand, you are doomed to extinction.  The ones who speak up and fight for what they believe in are the ones who will change and shape the world.  There's some good food for thought here.

we cant as we are all just tainted monkeys. If we could mentally join with each other and see the world through other eyes then we might stand a chance but as of now we cannot, maybe we could find a way for technology to help us mentally connect a bit like we are doing on the internet now. I bet a hundred years ago no one saw the internet coming and who knows maybe in another hundred mental wet wired plug ins for the whole family courtesy of microsoft.

Good answer above. I think it's Subjective vs Objective and Impressions vs Facts.

No.  Reality is what we perceive it to be.  Absolutes do not exist.  Without perception, therefore, reality does not exist.  And hence, a tree falling with no one to hear, makes no sound.

I quite disagree with Darrius. The law of accelerating returns and Moore's law make it inevitable that by no later than 2040 we will have advanced so far technologically that we will be able to do all that they do in the Matrix movies and more. We won't need  a huge spike driven into a hole in the back of our heads though. (Ever hear of wireless networks?)\n\nWithin a decade or two we will be able to supplement our brains with implants allowing us to parallel process (multi-task), enjoy instant and total memory recall, and communicate via the then ubiquitous, wireless Internet with other people or computers including being able to download information. \n\nThis is just scratching the surface. Check out my source links and hang on, we're all about to go on one heck of a ride.

still waiting on it, but personally i think the next invention ( be it what ever it may be ) will further insulate society from one another like the current state of connectivity does right now. interesting isn't he, he we are on this board posting replies, when we could be outside... connecting.. with people.. and not text..
