I came to the conclusion (in about 1990)\u00a0that text based communication was destroying the intricacies, nuances, and intimacy of verbal communication.\u00a0 There are non-verbal cues that lend a richness and meaning to verbal communication that cannot be achieved with emails, text messages, instant messaging, and most pertinently, blogging. I do not mean to belabor the virtues of oratory or rhetorical skill, but perhaps I should. Because we have many gifted writers here on Bloodhound Blog, our writing skills enable us to infuse our text with meaning and richness, humor, pith, sarcasm, and emotion. The use of visual images in the form of emoticons and jpg images has helped to facilitate some of the lost intricacies of speech. Is this enough? Maybe, but I think we could do better. Now on to the potentially stupid part.<\/p>\n

Imagine that I have something that I want to say (verbally) on Bloodhound. I open up the link, I click a button that says “Post,” a window opens up, and the beautiful botton says, “Click Here When Your Camera is Ready.” So, I straighten my tie and hair, make sure my portliness is portrayed from just the right angle, and launch. . .my webcam. So there I am, in all my humanity, sitting in front of the camera, saying what I want to say. Now, if and when someone wants to comment on my blog post, they do the same thing. Click the link, and start recording their response. Oh the richness! The humanity! Now, I realize that there would need to be a few advances in technology to facilitate this, and perhaps some ungodly amount of bandwidth potential, but think of the coolness! One of the things that really fills me with trepidation and hope is actually meeting the people who write here. I have met a handfull personally, and I must say that this opens up a whole new dimension to my reality. It really lets me know a lot more about these people. Some things I would like to know, for example:<\/p>\n
