Some are so so innovative. Anyway coming back to what I had in my mind.
This is on a topic which many have asked. I will try to put up some kind of an answer to that. It might not be complete but I hope it'd be a good one.

Why do we need to communicate?
My first answer was maybe because of my insecurity feeling, that is if I had any. Meaning people communicating to get over there feeling of insecurity.
Then the angle of approach to the problem changed to one of survivability. Where as far as concerned, communication helped in making the memebers of a single species itself act as a bigger loosely connected organization. Where the loose connection was based on the ability to communicate.
Many might say the world has moved much forward from that time. But I beg to differ that all that has changed is our data about this world and they way we live in it. But now how we are alive in it.
We are alive because of the society. A lone man doesnt usually have the necessary resources or skill to live off by himself. So its communication which tightens the bond which binds and connects him to the society. It might be the same bond which restricts to some extent and causes to some extent his improvement. He improves in areas where the society is advanced than him and his improvement is impeded where the society is not.
But all said and done I dont think the above said reasons are completely satisfactory.
Meaning our necessity to communicate might be closely related to our ability to think . Then again might be not.
