Waves and wires of communication.

There are the moments where it seems that all the wires and waves of communication are either going weird or just completely broken. Sometimes it's hard to communicate with people when calling them, leaving a message and there's silence for a long while. Sometimes there are repeated calls to someone and no answer, like nobody has ever been there or had a phone at all. "Please leave your message, I will call you back..." and after yet another message left, nobody is responding at all. Sometimes a series of days happen when it's hard to either express what's in mind or otherwise explain an idea or - again - nobody's responding. Sometimes, when talking live or over the phone, it's hard to either explain an idea or be understood. Very often something, somewhere and somehow is breaking the lines and waves of communication. Is it a special layout of stars or planets or a festive time or upcoming weekend or a political, sport or cultural event, illness or other personal happening that makes people deconcentrate, neglect, ignore? Why is it all going that way? What's weird on the way? It's neither the phone itself nor even its cellphone culture (..."sorry, I have someone on the other line"...) that makes people stop the conversation, changing the topics or fumbling with the words once it's finally progressing. What the heck is going on with this communication thing?
