Style Points

One need only look at last night's presidential debate for evidence of the power of the spoken word. And not surprisingly much of the spin today is not necessarily about the words themselves - the content - but about the style of delivery.

As I said last week, much of human vocality is interpretive, inferred, affected highly by all the nuances of its delivery - things like pitch, volume, inflection, emphasis, body language, etc.

Fortunately we have not yet arrived at the point in our evolution that face-to-face communication holds no value. I count on the human need to 'connect' personally to truly communicate!
