A man found the horse of the king but he did not know it was
the king’s horse so he kept it. But the king found out, had him arrested was going
to kill him for stealing his horse. The man tried to explain and said that he
would take his punishment but does the king know that he could teach his horse
to talk? So the king thought about it and so decreed that they would
give the man a year to make his horse speak. Well, his friends think he is
nuts. But the man says, “Well, who knows? The king may die, I could die, the world may
come to an end, or the king might forget.
Who knows? Maybe, just maybe the horse may talk?”
“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe…. Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not. Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
