For every object that we see around us or voice we hear on the telephone/radio, we as simple people desire to form a face or give it a facial identity. We look for faces in everything, which always consist of two symmetrical horizontally positioned dots for the eyes and a horizontal line just a little below to form the mouth. All other details are negligible; it is not vital that other details like the forehead/eyebrows/nose/philtrum and chin be present. The face is an important feature for the identification of others and conveys significant social information. The basic face would be shaped of eyes that can see us and a mouth that may speak to us. As children, we may construct faces out of plug points and headlights on cars/scooters, draw smileys on dusty car windows and make faces at the mirror. The face is the only immediate and widely recognisable feature which distinguishes one individual from another. Ironically, because of the importance of its role in social interaction, the newer communication systems like SMS and online chat completely eliminate the instance of ‘seeing’ the person you are communicating with. There are solutions, of course, to this situation; one of them is where you can post a picture of yourself, or if you do not like your face too much or simply want to ‘lie’ about your appearance, wear a mask!
