Ears with chair
|
|
From a long time ago, a cylinder has been used in various ways as a technological tool for making sounds. It had been a practical tool to make sounds louder and also communicative until electricity came into use instead. It is common sense that tools are developed as extensions of human organs. Naturally a cylinder is "an extension of ears". If we take it as a tool, the problem should be how much it could catch sounds. If we take it as a 'human being with a cylinder', it would be a problem of `Sense'

By putting a palm or a shell to the ear, the way of hearing sounds around us changes, e.g. by changing the shape of the ear slightly, that happens.

Around us various kinds of sounds are flooding and at the same time there exist numerous ears. So long as there are vibrating media, we can enjoy 'travels' wherever we may be.
