The advancement of humanity wasn’t achieved by isolation and solitary efforts. We aimed for communication and connectivity in order to progress. We communicate to share and develop ideas to someday bring those concepts into plausible creations. We communicate to connect with our friends, family, and peers, expressing the daily complexities of life. Ultimately, we communicate to advance and grow.

Today, modern communication exists within our smartphones, populated with various apps that reach across the globe. We’ve come very far from the smoke signals of the past, and yet there’s still uncharted terrain in the future.
