7. Less Live Socializing
You know whats annoying, trying to talk to someone who is also conversing with someone through text messaging or social media on their phone. Clearly the focus isnt on you; otherwise youd have their full attention. Instant messaging and social media has given everyone a polite way of ignoring people they dont want to talk to in person. The next time someone does this to you, insult them lightly and when you realize they arent paying attention at all, see how far you can go. Studies show 80% of what we say is through our body language. If everyone keeps using instant messaging and technology to do the majority of communicating, we may all lose the ability to confidently communicate in person with another human being.
