You are always communicating with others. You talk to your friends at school. You call them on the telephone. You may show photographs of special events or people to them. You may send letters or e-mail, to those who have moved away. Or, you may have made new friends, many miles distant, by communicating through the Internet. No matter how you communicate, you require a code. Language and pictures are codes you learn from an early age. Talking may feel as natural to you as breathing. But many years ago you had to learn to translate your thoughts and feelings into a code that those close to you could understand. In order to communicate with others you are continually translating your thoughts from one code to another. Code and communication are forever linked.
