Conversations around the fire, smoke signals, drums. Books, letters, newspapers. Telegraph, radio, television. Telephones, cell phones, the Internet, Twitter, Pinterest. These developments in communication devices, which we take for granted, were once considered amazing. Rather than face-to-face conversations, we can now communicate across vast distances, in real-time or time-delayed. These devices have affected all aspects of our relationships. To continue this trend and improve communication between people, partners are asked to look into the future and design a new communication device.
