Subject/Description One of the greatest human inventions of all time was written language, and with books, we can communicate complex ideas and feelings. Now that we have video games, we can place someone inside another person, and they can live out their experiences. As we create more complex and visceral ways to feel empathy for other humans, we will grow closer together and find ways to overcome any obstacle in our way.
