We do imagine what life was like when technology and science were not really in place, or not this advanced. One of the things that draws our minds to such is the area of communication. Sending messages today is seamless, effortless and quick, compared to back then when a single message took enough time to have forgotten about it before it arrived. To us today it's a sad experience, but I think they had their adaptations to it. Well, that's not the discussion here.
The interesting thing for me is how technology has continually advanced and influenced the communication space. It's not just about sending messages quickly, fast and effortlessly, but it's now about a choice of which platform or medium offers the best option for what we need at that time and for the very purpose in place.
Now, it gets more interesting from what the prompt suggests. What if in our world today telepathic communication is a reality? I know I've seen this in movies. How about experiencing it in our world today, what would it mean? Would it alter the way we communicate? Would it be an advantage or would it be a beautiful setback to humanity?
First, my expression knowing that I can communicate telepathically; be it to speak or hear in such a manner would be mind-blowing. Like, it could make me feel something was wrong. I would have to ensure that there isn't something wrong with me or the universe. I would try to double-check with someone, especially one close to me. Also, I would find out if others experience such, to ascertain this is the order of things and not me turning something else.
Okay, I watched a movie which highlighted something similar. A teenage boy had issues when it came to expressing himself. In a bid to address this, he went to a place where a portion was given to him to drink. Afterwards, he couldn't stop saying things out loud, even his inner thoughts. It was difficult for him. Not totally leaning on the movie, but I think I picked one or two things concerning this discussion from there to.
I think this will affect privacy in a sense. Except there's an intentional effort to communicate with a particular person that one can listen. But if it happens to be in a general sense, then privacy would be lost. I know most of the movies we watched around this were based on a pact or a group of people with such abilities, so they used it among themselves. The bigger picture here is that everyone has this ability. Except for something otherwise, I see this as an issue.
However, let's look at the other side. Won't this mean that I don't have to struggle to express myself to another when communicating? Since we have this connection with our thoughts, this would make communication easier, faster and effortless. I look at the cases of those who stutter and the deaf and dumb. This would certainly address their disabilities. On the part of others, it would make communication more effective and efficient, I presume.
Having such an ability would mean a lot. I don't know if this telepathic ability would have a long-distance range or just a short range when we can see each other. Whatever the case may be I feel would determine more of the outcome. For now, I think it has its advantages and disadvantages, and since we don't have that ability, we'll continue communicating the normal way.

Exactly, since we have minimal information as per the total overview of how the telepathic will work. I guess we just work with the information released to us at this moment and the things we know. But as you rightly stated, there's going to be a lot of privacy breaches with that kind of communication. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, that's it. We stick to what we have.
Thank you for stopping by.
I believe we are over thinking this whole telepathic communication. Just like the way we speak to each other face to face without our month talking without our consent, in the same vein, it is more like communicating with people with our thoughts without opening our months.
There will surely be something we have to when we want people to hear our thought and when we don't, we can choose to shut anyone out, just like the way we whisper if don't want anyone to hear us speak.
I guess we didn't think it that way. And I get your point.
That way then will have the whole thing in a better sense. Thank you for sharing this perspective.

Wow, I love this.
Considering how it will help those who have issues with voicing out clearly. But then, there will always be pros and cons, it would be more better if we get to control who listens to what, and what extent of information/thoughts they also have access to.
Thanks for sharing.
💯❤️💯
Yes, I feel it should be that way too. If there can be a way to regulate who the message gets to without others receiving it as well.
Thank you for stopping by.
Exactly sir.
Very much welcome.
Actually that makes me to remember when I watch the movie flash. It taughts me a whole lot of lessons about telecom
Hmmm, I watched that movie too. There are lessons to learn.
A telepathic means of communication will eradicate everything that has to do with privacy, your thoughts can be heard by another.
That's the problem. Thank you.
