gollark: I'm talking to you by pressing certain parts of a transparent material over an LCD display, in fact. My messages are transmitted by electromagnetic waves to a receiver which is also connected to the long pieces of metal, which do eventually go to a device which sends electromagnetic waves through a glass cable.
