Did you know that all the senses, including vision, are extensions of the tactile sense? Touch is considered as “the mother of the senses”. It is also regarded as the first medium of communication. The skin is the oldest and most sensitive of our organs. All the senses are specializations of skin tissue. For example, the transparent cornea of the eye is shielded by a layer of modified skin. By and large, all sensory experiences are modes of touching, and thus, related to tactility.
