Our little enterprise gave us an imaginative realization of the solidarity, the interdependence, of the world; and we saw, as in a vision, its four corners knit together by a vast network of paths connecting one with the other; footpaths, byways, cart-tracks, bride-paths, lovers' lanes, highroads, all sensitively linked in one vast nervous system of human communication.

But, after all, you must look on writing as a species of human communication.

Using available means of human communication, a central planetary authority can inform, alert and arouse the entire human family with its 3,700 million members.

Thus a new improvement in the means of human communication was being sought and another pioneer of science was at work.
