I used my aviation contacts to open a travel agency. I used to book Caribbean flights.
It would be a pity if frustrated by the price of travel we elected to become a society that never made contact that never gave SETI a fair chance.
Words words words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things only with the beastly words that stand for them.
The personal contact is a personal thing. The fact that some people don't know their neighbors I don't think that technology is at fault. You don't lose anything with technology. You gain other avenues of understanding.
It's hard to say exactly what it is about face-to-face contact that makes deals happen but whatever it is it hasn't yet been duplicated by technology.
I have a grandson who is 20. He's a computer guy. I'm worried that he can't communicate without his machine. They have no personal contact with people. That's the bad part of technology.
If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other then somehow the original agenda has been lost.
The more violent the body contact of the sports you watch the lower the class.
I remember when I was growing up I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.

With science fiction I think we are preparing ourselves for contact with them whoever they may be.
I'm probably a bit romantic about it but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.
They become the keepers of the mystery. They place themselves between the communicants of the religion and the immediate experience. And then they dictate the terms on which you can have contact with this wonderful mystery. We don't dictate those terms.
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
Since the beginning of the 21st century thanks to the concerted efforts of both sides China-U.S. relationship has on the whole enjoyed steady growth. Since President Obama took office we have maintained close contact through exchange of visits meetings telephone conversations and letters.
Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person place and event - serves a very special if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.
Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it as far as I'm concerned.
