I came across the following quotation today and laughed out loud: "While it is true that other vertebrates have not progressed beyond phatic expression (communicating emotional states), much of human speech in everyday life does not go far beyond this stage, either."
That's Facebook to a T! So Facebook users are as communicationally sophisticated as fish or frogs. But guess what? The quote is from a book published in... 1975! |
