On Friday, as we were only allowed to communicate through charades and drawing, my message I was trying to get across was extremely impacted. For example, I was not able to tell any stories at lunch because no one could understand my drawings. Also, during lunch, I needed to ask someone what time the Sadies Dance was, and they never understood my question. Overall, my communication was limited due to my medium. Therefore, Postman argues that communication through smoke signals is absolutely incompetent. Any complex message cannot be fully expressed through the sole medium of smoke signals. This is very similar to the way in which my communication was limited on Friday.
