More smoke signals

I'm trying to start a trend much like "More Cowbell," except it will be "More Smoke Signals." If you think about it, this is a very effective form of communication.

One of my tasks at work is to disseminate information. My publishing deadlines are on Saturdays, yet sometimes decisions to change performance times can happen on the hour. Enter the frustration and miscommunication that happens when you have to tell thousands of people different information.

Watching the new Pope being elected made me think about the simplicity of smoke signals. We live in a world where messages and information come through instantly, but when things are so fast paced, then again, so is the chance to make mistakes. A smoke signal is a clear message that something occurred. It's easily noticeable and many people can see it.

This is where my preposition to utilize smoke signals comes in. Obviously colored smoke would mean either one thing or another, so maybe for things like "It's a Girl" or "We will have a parade!" can use this technique.

More smoke signals!
