The thing I found really interesting is when she talked about how we were groomed to understand that when we are at school or work we can’t talk or have contact with people outside while we are there. When you were at school you likely didn’t contact a friend at another school or a parent who was at work. Not engaging in little communications all day was a habit created by circumstance. But we must consider this idea of not contacting people while at work or at school, or when we can’t talk physically, is outdated.

Where as before we may have only talked on the phone once a week with a friend or family member, now there may be multiple communications per week through email or facebook or texting. So I think we actually communicate more. But we communicate differently. In fact, since email, facebook, and texting is not face to face, often a lot more is revealed about a person because it is easier to open up. So we may end up knowing people better by including these forms of communication. And as long as we feel good about the relationship dynamic that we have with our friends and family…then that is all that matters.
