We exist in a world that moves very literally at the speed of sound—as quickly as something happens, the majority can know about it. Is this completely terrible? Of course not, but the connectivity that we currently exist in gives everyone the opportunity to author an op-ed or lead articles in investigative journalism. This also creates the opportunity to misinterpret and read situations through the lens of emotion and very rarely fact.

It is somewhat common knowledge that as much as seventy percent of communication is nonverbal. Though this may seem like it leaves much room for error and miscommunication, our often-overstimulated brain is siphoning through countless data touchpoints at a mile per minute, and undoubtedly makes more connections subconsciously than we are even able to recognize.
