Something to ponder
Would really like to see some ideas on how to counter this on here
Electromagnetic pulse....LOL.
I've noticed younger folks, maybe 25 and under, have a REALLY hard time making/keeping eye contact, and I think it's only going to get worse as we grow apart as a society. That bugs the heck outta me. Eye contact between two people communicating is so important for establishing trust, relaying feelings, etc.
Regarding text versus phone calls -- I'm okay texting for certain types of non-urgent messages ("Be there in 5 minutes," "Grab some beer while you're out," "Here's a photo of my genitals") but as
@barbee6043 mentioned, important conversations like when you're buying something or negotiating a deal, voice wins every time.
