I found this online and thought it was a strange thing. Sure, populations are ageing and natality rates are low...is this the future of the elderly? It would make an interesting sci-fi flick. Well I bet someone's made it already. I still think human contact is irreplaceable.

Isn't it strange how, the more ways of communicating we have, the longer we are able to extend our lives, the more we are able to learn, the more we seem to turn away from each other and how truly fragile we are as a whole. I wonder why that is?

This is an interesting video...but it gives me chills.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
