Eventhough we can say that etxting helps bridge the gaps in communication but it also has a negative effect..I noticed it also happening here in the Philippines..nowadays kids spend more time texting than actually having a conversation with each other.

I had pretty bad interpersonal skills long before I had a mobile phone ;)

I think we are potentially fostering a generation of passive-aggressors.

Just about any time you give someone the ability to separate from the direct interaction with others, yet still interact, you can get a collective atmosphere that is everyone out for themselves.

Next time you are in line at a store or at your company cafeteria, go ahead and cut in front of three people in front of you.  What, you won’t do it?  Why not?

Let’s put a metal box around you and those three people, let’s say the size of an automobile.  Would you do it then?

It is so important to interact at a personal level, but there is definitely an art to doing so.  Unfortunately, the only way to learn the craft of communicating at the human level is to practice it at the human level.

Like all new communication tech, texting helps in some ways and hurts in others IMO...it's like with the phone. I'm sure it has decreased the amount of face-to-face conversations, but at the same time, it's increased the amount of conversations we have overall. Increase in quanity over quality perhaps...
