After wondering how this might be true, I came to the conclusion
that if our forefathers had not invented letter writing, postal
services, telegraphs, Morse code, teletypes, telephones, radios,
televisions, computers, software, networks, and the Internet with
service providers and mailing lists, not to mention a plethora of
wireless devices, we would have to be face-to-face speaking with one
another.<br>
<br>
The serious inconvenience of that might allow more work to get done.<br>
<br>
That's right -- those darn forefathers -- inhibiting manual work-day
productivity with more creative uses for all of this technology.<br>
<br>
And what's more -- if they hadn't been so quick to deliver the news
way back then, they would have had time to translate it into German
and French and maybe even Spanish, if enough polyglots wanted to
make the effort to speak all that news in other peoples' mother
tongues.<br>
<br>
So, you're right, we could be speaking more English, and other
languages, too, if it wasn't for our forefathers.<br>
