Cell phones aka mobiles
Everyone except for perhaps the rag pickers, who are really the advance guard of manual recyclers, have cell phones. Rickshaw wallas and peanut sellers, the unemployed, the old and the very young all have mobile phones. This makes sense to me as we need to communicate so desperately with each other. We need to be in touch and just a bit of timely information can save time, speed up transactions and make lots of things more safe and efficient.
Similarly, as human beings we need to actually listen to each other, talk to each other, and feel heard. That is the next generation of communication. To really hear each other. To sit and listen without judgment, without giving advice, with compassion and with respect.
Communication is precious.
