Telectroscope

There is something wonderful about this new art installation in London, though perhaps art installation is not quite the right description of it. It's called a telectroscope and has a look of some magical invention from Jules Verne. People in London and New York can look in their ends of this telescope like apparatus and see the people at the other end. I think we should have these all over the world. Perhaps they might bring about a greater closeness between people. I don't know whether it would increase our understanding of each other but we might see that the people in the other city aren't much different than we are.

I agree...we need more teletroscopes. I suggest one between the Papua New Guinea Highlands and...wonder where would be of greatest interest to the PNG Highlanders? It's fun to consider.
