Sažetak
Homo sapiens is a collective species. Since the day of our birth we live, maintain, and develop ourselves through numerous interactions with others. Without these interactions individual human beings are unable to survive certain life periods such as infancy and old age. Yet, human interactions are not restricted to bodily needs such as feeding or emotional needs such as well-being, and reach all the way to what and who we are. Human beings collectively make sense of our world and of ourselves in present-day interactions and in interactions with past generations. These interactions are mediated through all five human senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. When we use these senses, human interactions are mediated linguistically (because the majority of human interactions happen through language), visually (many interactions also happen through pictures), and through many other channels of communication. Linguistic, visual, and other communicative interactions are mediated through technologies such as writing, drawing, singing, and film-making. These technologies introduce a temporal dimension, so that we can read texts or watch films made by deceased people. Finally, the majority of our interactions are now mediated through even higher-order technologies such as real-time television news and the Internet.
