Communication To Be Or Not To Be

Big Brain Abstraction

With the internet, and personal phones, people seem to have driven communication to near perfection. People are able to connect with others, and disseminate information with a simple click of a button, but while communication approaches perfection, communication in and of itself remains flawed. Take for example World War II, Hitler and his associates were able to use mass communication to their favor, and by doing so he was able to indoctrinate tens of millions of people, breeding so much hate for the Jews to the point where they found themselves tolerating genocide against the Jews.

In today’s society, with relatively little restriction on communication, it is becoming easier and easier to indoctrinate groups of people through cultures, social-economic classes, race, and religion. Indoctrination happens merely due to the fact that communication is flawed, and communication is going to remain flawed so long as it approaches perfection. My question is through what means does communication establish perfection, and will that be justified by the end?
