True indeed, Boom! Could be just because I am getting old and grey, but it feels like more and more of the upcoming generations are better at reacting than they are at responding. And with reactions? It becomes very hard to have actual discussion and dialogue.
Does make me wonder whether one of the Achilles heels of the Internet is its immediacy, which causes people to just blurt out stuff rather than pausing and contemplating the deeper message and the words they are sending back.
The reacting is defo the thing, most often they react by lashing out and name calling. That is when you can instantly tell you are not going to get anywhere there.
The immediacy too, I have even been there myself where I respond and seconds later wish I could have amended my reply.
I don't think people get a chance to grow up on the internet!
