Language

It's hilarious how we try to understand the complexities of creation through a method of communication evolved in order to communicate where the ripe fruit was.  The fact that we as a species take to a form of communication only involving sounds is a bit unfulfilling for me, sure it lets as somewhat effectively transfer ideas and concepts but it hinders us to only understand what a person is saying. Most other mammals are able to pick up on each others thoughts and emotions through body language incredibly efficiently, and while we, as humans, actually do this subconciously as well, we've abandoned the ability to pick up on it. Communicating only through sound inhibits us to a great deal of miscommunication and the ability to only understand a person from what they're saying (which again goes back on the whole miscommunication part). We live in a society based around controlling the placement of seeds into the ground and yet we use a language developed to improve the hunter / gathering process.

 It's time to develop a new form a communication. Hopefully technology pulls through.
