You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. Albert Einstein
About This Quote

The famous saying by Mark Twain is a direct reference to the telegraph. The long cat, or the cat that never stops meowing, is a reference to the cat that stays connected. If you think about it for a moment, it makes sense. The more people are connected to each other, the harder it becomes to sever the connection.

With the advent of technology, this link has become even stronger than ever before. To be connected means there is no stopping us. We can communicate with anyone anywhere on the planet at any time of day or night.
