Communication changes the world

What changes the world is communication, not information.

We are living in a world where we can exchange ideas and emotions freely and inexpensively, for the first time in the history. Information piled up, or disseminated one way down, never makes people happy or feel compelled to act that much, while communication, just a single line or word from your friends or beloved, or even from a total stranger, that catches your heart, often results in collective actions.
