I have clients in countries other than the U.S. and we just talk by phone when the time zones permit (two to nine hours!)...no substitute.

Ken, I agree with your comment and I really like it, I think that a picture that transmit different questions or interpretations could be considered as an interesting image, thanks for your comments and for the idea " A WASTED SCIENCE ". I remember when I was young, I think that the itelectual start to discuss about the INCOMMUNICATION was when Michelangelo Antonioni made his early films "La notte", "L'Eclipse", he described a different solitude, much more philosophical, maybe under the influence of Marcuse....? I'm not sure, but maybe is the first time that the people was interested to analyze the individual solitude in the society.
