The tide of globalization and the spread of the Internet have resulted in a flat and homogeneous world. People can share the same information anywhere in the world and can live under the same values.

However, the human brain has not been able to cope with such a vast area extending beyond the five senses. We still want to build trusting relationships founded on physical connections.

As mentioned above, in today’s society there are still old communication methods appropriate to different group sizes. Communication should be undertaken with consideration also given to senses other than the visual and auditory senses used by information technology devices, i.e., the senses of smell, taste, and touch.
