The Tower of Babel was once referred to as "the tower of communication", which brought people together as one. Each person was said to have had their own individual brick, inserted into this tower. Now-a-days, we have an intricate system of communication which brings us all together, again: the internet. Probably, most of us in the more developed countries have a phone, even a cell phone, which again bring us together. The celluar phones of old were once referred to as "bricks", because of their size. Could there be a parallel, here?
