I think we are losing the art of communication. We have forgotten how to interact in person. Because of many online platforms and instant messaging apps, people are getting lazy and using short forms and clipped conversations. We no longer see the person we are chatting to. I have been in business interviews and have been appalled by the speech patterns of the interviewees. These are supposedly professionals applying for a professional position. Kids today use their cell phones to text their parents at the dinner table! They can't interact on a one to one level without consulting their phones. What will they be like in another 10 years?

agree!!!!!
My last job before I had to stop working was at my local Library. Part of my job was checking people out and I LOVED it and people seemed to like me too. My co-workers would get upset because if there was a long line and people would come out to help........ most of the people in line would say they would wait because they wanted ME to check them out.
Not that I was better at it but because I talked to them. Nothing earth-shattering, just small talk but for most, it was the only time they got out.
My favorite man came in drunk, he was old.........come to find out he had just lost his wife and wasn't handling it very well. From slowly taking to him over the course of a few weeks he stopped drinking and started walking more and still came to the Library and we would chat........now that everyone else knew his story they would chat with him too.......
He then got out more and found old friends and one old friend had a place in Florida so he would go there for the Winter. I would get postcards from him sent to the Libray and I would share them all around.
So a little "Hello" can mean a lot to a person and so many seem to forget that.......
