I think that interpersonal communication may be a dieing art. In todays world more and more people do their "talking" via a computer, the internet, cell phones, and texting.

Talking to a person who has just gotten off of the cell is harder and harder to do, they get an embarrassed look on their face, ignore us and everyone around them, and usually get back on the phone...
