Touch -- the only sense that every person never outgrows. Whether you agree or not, I know that we never outgrow the need to be hugged. I, for one, have never outgrown this peculiar want. I always want to be hugged and I always want to hug anyone, provided that I know the person. I want to feel the concern of other people and I want others to feel mine, too.
Since I was a child, I never saw my father. I never saw him, neither in person nor in
gray pictures. My mom just told me that he left us. Sad to say, I grew up without a father. Thus, I grew without the feeling of being hugged by a real father. I had lots of fathers when I grew up because my mom had many boyfriends, but I still wanted my real father. Since then, I never received a hug from my mom nor from anyone. So, I grew up with this kind of need. Call that immaturity if you want.
However, the sense of touch has an alternative because of technology. It's DSL broadband Internet. Through the broadband technology, we can touch any person who is far from us. We can give a person a teddy bear hug via web cams. You can also touch any person's heart through email or your blog site with your
reliable Mac iLife 06. Anything is possible with broadband technology.
