To answer your question, hmm.. I guess you
could call electronic communication a sort of a sixth sense, but that (at least
for me) would not be the perfect depiction of
what electronic communication really is - I mean there are the
two (or three if you count the touch) senses to it: sight and sound
(sometimes), so I don't see why it should be considered a sense of a
new kind.. As a sixth sense I would consider some sorts
of psychic abilities..
Wow! I've never really talked to a blind/deaf
person, neither on the internet nor in real life. That must've been
interesting.
"I know that the sixth sense is considered super-natural. But
"natural" is not the same for all of us."
I
agree totally
hey, Tara! I see you're very much interested in this sort of
discussion.. me too, maybe not as much as you (although I sure do write much..
hehe)
"How do people who are born blind and deaf make their associations with the
world?"
That question has interested me, too.. and I remember how it always amazed
me when I thought of Beethoven who (as you probably all know) became deaf and
still carried on writing his stuff.. he used to try out his compositions through
the vibrations that came across the floor (for that he had to install his piano
on the floor, in the first place).. I have respect for the man!
yeah, that's also an interesting field: how do newborns think? well, I'd
start by trying to remember my own experiences as a newborn.. HA, HA.. stupid
joke, eh? lol
yep, that's the basic idea, children just do learn a whole lot faster than
grown-ups - I guess that's just a necessity - I mean they're small and
helpless, and the only way to survive in a hostile environment is to speed
up the learning process, at least that's how I personally explain it..
But hell yeah, the way the brain functions and all those axions (do you
call them like that in English btw?) and so on, it's just so difficult to
imagine - it's a wonder!
dobranoc all!
sweet dreams (and dreams are also an interesting topic, don't you think?
and they've got something to do with the brain, too)
Ewa
do my senses have a
sense?
