phones and the invisible

I remember our first telephone. It was black, heavy and chunky. It had the rotating disk with the finger holes for each number and we dial by  spinning the disk clockwise to the end point then let go, then continue with the following numbers. Manual and creaky. The ringing tone are all the same through out the whole country. Kriiiiing....Kriiiing...Kriiiing....shrill and could be heard even from our neighbours houses, 3 or 4 houses away.

Never imagine that our handphones today can be so slick and brilliant. No more jarring ear-drums sensitive ringings. We can download our favourite song for ring tones. Sweet music for our ears.  For the more islamic individuals, maybe the theme song of jejak rasul or raihan's songs. Some ringtones sounds exactly like real kittens that you start looking around the lrt coaches for them.

Now we can mms moving pictures, video conference,(just the thing for parents missing their out -of -country studying children)  have internet, watch football on your phone. Not only you just press the buttons, now you only have to touch the screen. The features of all brands change and advance at a fast pace . MasyaAllah.

I have always linked this superb technology to the 'things' we cannot see in this world. What make it all possible. How can we see our love ones and hear their voices from across the globe and ocean by a touch of a button Which brings me to this point. There are many things that are invisible. Like the telegraphic waves or the microwaves or the electrowaves and whatever waves.  It is there and it functions.

That proves there are many other things that our eyes cannot see which are there and functioning.
