At the request of an important fraction of the crowd, the columnette agreed to alternate their comments on current issues with the review of some events that were long gone and, for that very reason, the non-octogenarians did not even know of their existence. existence. That is why we decided to alternate times and meet both demands. But now a new concern has arisen for the columnette that it briefly exposes: Has it not happened to you that when reading the news you come across minuscule figures that do not give you the slightest concern and others whose dimension alarms you just by seeing them? The numbers, from what is seen, are more impressive for the size in which they are printed than for the information they convey. Deciphering numbers is undoubtedly more difficult than translating words. The number 100 will always be the same, but the words that follow it will make a difference: miles or kilometers? Let’s try in this space to give words, numbers and, in general, sounds and images, a fair dimension in the satisfaction of instinct, desire, the imperative need for communication that we human beings have (just humans? ) with our peers (and even with those who are not). But above all, let’s make clear the banality of this dilemma, the need to decide between different media options, forms, instruments for the transmission of ideas and feelings. None of these is opposed, on the contrary, they reinforce each other and enhance their message. When Humphrey Bogart says goodbye to Ingrid Bergman forever at the Casablanca airport, it is an iconic sequence from cinema of all time. Words are obviously unnecessary, and yet she tells him, “I told you I would never leave you.” And he, when separating from her forever, replies: “And you never will.”
