Have you had a good old-fashioned conversation with someone today? You know, the kind where you look at another human and the two of you take turns speaking and listening to one another. A recent news story predicts that we are losing the art of verbal communication because we text and email each other more than we speak with each other. Verbal conversation provides cues that text does not. Even when we speak over the phone, the message is more clear than in tech print. I was kind of late to the texting party, but I do use it, especially when I send info to one of my wonderful sister friends. If I'm in a hurry, I text instead of call her because she never wants to get off the phone.
Smiles,
Sylvia
