Some people talk to eachother in person, others call eachother over the phone. Some people text message and others use online forums like these. When you're talking to someone in person, you can use hand gestures and facial expressions to convey your point across. You can't do this over online forums, which leaves people to believe that this (among other things) leads to a loss of communication skills. But as I watch this thread, I notice how people can say a lot about themselves with simple statements and links... using YouTube as hand gestures and font alterations as facial expression. This thread isn't just a contest to see who can sit around twiddling their thumbs the longest... it's a testimony to the world that we CAN speak without "words!" That we as a people have not, and will not, lose our social skills because of technology, because we have the technology that allows us to keep our social skills... That, is the true point of this thread. Mmmmm... ......
