I could tell you why visuals have a powerful role through history… but you know that.

So how do you feel when you step into an oasis of beauty? Recall a beautiful website you recently saw. Now notice your breathing. Notice what your eyes did. Notice your physical and mental reaction.

Why is humor experienced differently when it is visual?
I love the blogger who summarizes an idea with a quick sketch.
