That&amp;rsquo;s adorable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Long before the first copper wire, before the first signal bounced off a tower, my people were running a communications system across entire continents. We didn&amp;rsquo;t call it the internet. We didn&amp;rsquo;t call it anything, really—naming things out loud is a human habit. We called it the way you call breathing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s the part your scientists are only now catching up to: trees talk. Underground, through the fungal threads laced between our roots, and aboveground, through scent carried on the air. Real forests do this. And dryads use it to talk to our trees, travel our forests, and connect with the world. We&amp;rsquo;ve been online since before you came down from the branches.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
