Thought transfer
Are words enough? One of you is to describe how the shapes are positioned on the table using only words and guide the other into arranging the shapes in the same way.
Two people can test what it’s like to communicate using words alone. There are two identical sets of geometrical wooden pieces. One person creates a figure on the table using one set, and then tries to tell the other person using only words how the pieces are placed. The second person attempts to place the pieces of the second set in the same figure as the first set. When only words are available, you discover their limitations, even though the ability of humans to communicate by language is an asset when transferring information. Words are only one part of communication. Facial expression, gestures, body language and tone of voice are sometimes more important than the words, particularly if the words have different implications and values for the two who are communicating.
