We need tools to communicate

During my grandfather era, they do not need even a car to move around. They use simple tool to move about i.e. their two feet. My grandpa was from Pasir Putih, Kelantan and my three grandma were from three other areas. My father married to a local girl originated from Pattani. My father used to follow his father to come to Baling, Kedah for paddy harvesting and later settled down and married to a local girl in Siong, Baling. They were not even discussing about oil hike and various other matters that we use to discuss today. The only communication tool they use were their mouth. They were the real travellers, by foot from Kelantan to Kedah and it took them weeks to arrive, that is why they are so strong. I once touched my grandpa legs and it seems like steel and I could not managed to massage my grandpa legs.
Our era is very much different, we keep busy looking for money to support our modern life and left totally our father occupation i.e. farming and animal rearing. Instead we take up modern occupations in Bank, Educational Institution and others. With the advent of computers, we rely very much on that electronic gadgets for supporting our living and even now we use computer through software like Skype to communicate with other human.
We communicate to our environment through soft music like Beetoven, Tchaikosky and Mozart. Probably some could be in entranced listening to bollywood music or arabic songs through the soft and powerful voice of Fairuz.
Telephones and hand-phones have brought us nearer eventhough we are thousands kilometers apart. Emails has become common in our life and thus SMS has become part of our life either to send good or bad news or even some has send poison messeges through sms. Previously we hate teachers giving us assignment to shorten essays, but now it is very handy when we need it for SMS.
So, actually we need tools to communicate with our environment and we need to use the tools wisely so as not to offend people around.
