Joe - Touch

Touch is the feeling we recieve from the world, weather it be physical contact or a sensation such as heat or pain.

I think the touch is the most important since of all as it is most important for survival. The since of touch is one of the best indicators of danger. When we touch a hot ember or spark, we feel pain and automatically recoil. This automatic reflex is one of the basic survival instincts. Furthermore, touch and the skin help us know what the body is doing. For example, when you stand in a cold wind we can feel that the body starts to cool, something that all the other senses cannot do, you can’t see yourself getting cold until your extremities turn blue. You certainly cannot hear, taste or smell yourself becoming cold, so we can see that the sensation of touch is the most important.
