The Watering Hole
When we had to gather food and water from nature, the water bearers would gather around a watering hole and discuss life. This was the central place for local gossip, and one of the ways that the word traveled from one village to the next. Over the ages we lost that part of our social structure. However with the emergance of on-line networking it has come back, and now the watering hole has come full circle.

Gathering water

Summary: In Eastern Cape (Africa), these Xhosa women with pots on their head, the traditional way of carrying... just about anything... While they gather water they exchange information about their village, and learn about the surrounding villages. Just as they have for generations.
Aside from air, there is nothing more vital to our survival than water. Thus the reason why the watering hole is an ideal location for the 'gossip chain' to begin. In present time we might call it 'gathering around the water cooler'.
