Exactly, insects don't need communication. So it would be pretty lame if we were given something special which a smaller and less capable race didn't need.
By the way it has been scientifically proven that wasps can organise flight paths with each other.
Do we need it though. I agree that technology has helped save and make so many people's lives better. But it really wouldn't kill me if computers had never been invented and I couldn't talk now AG right now.

Agreed. I'd love to live in the 1800s.
But since we have the ability to create new things, they will happen. Technology is created for 1. superiority and 2. Improvement. Superiority doesn't last long though as technology is easily replicated. Chinese were the first to invent gun powder. At first they owned with it didn't they, but others soon developed gun power also, so the Chinese had to make something new, and as they did, that was copied too. It goes on and on until we get here.
As of #2. Any technology that is used in our lives follows a similar path. At one point, computers made the world way better for a while, but soon we got adapted to it and we became depended on it. No one had cellphones a century ago, now everyone does, but it doesn't make anything better.
Even medicine. We are able to increase the average life to 75 years. Now seems great but, living to 40 years of age was good for them. They didn't expect any more. So medicines just got us into the problem of overpopulation.
I see what you mean. Us being different may be down to Eve eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Perhaps, God's gift was lost then and we have never had any acctual experience of it...
In the bible, Genesis, it says that when God created Mankind, he gave us something special which animals didn't have.
We have two things that separate us from animals: intellect and will.

Eden is just a place. When they sinned, the idea of a perfect place was taken away, but I don't think he literally took something away from them, besides the chance to live close to him in the garden of Eden.
I didn't mean that God took this gift away when Eve sinned but that it died off as we developed, maybe differently than we were supposed to.
What I am saying is that nothing died off. Over time, it might be harder for us to see what it is that God gave us, and perhaps harder for us to understand. But it is not something that would fully disappear. If God gave us the capacity to understand a gift, he would not take it away. The capacity would always be there, it is just whether or not we can fill it or understand it.
Good point, but maybe we haven't even opened that gift and given it to ourselves yet, so to speak.
Well, but I would argue that this gift would be intellect. This is something that God has given us, that animals do not have. It is something that we still posses (some more than others).
I can't say I totally agree because we have no way of knowing.
What do you mean we have no way of knowing. Do animals have intellect? It is a gift that we have. Whether or not it is THE gift, I don't know. But it is something that we have that animals do not.
