What is one thing you learned? Smartphones are lessening social interaction. People are constantly interacting through technology, and are losing the skills to talk face-to-face.
What is one statistic that surprised you? “In this Bank of America survey, 29 percent of Americans chose text as their preferred method of conversing with others, compared to 40 percent of millennials. While 38 percent of Americans of all ages chose in person conversations as their top choice, compared to 33 percent of millennials” (Hill). It was shocking to see how many people prefer texting rather than in person conversation.
Do you think face to face communication is important? Why or why not? I do believe that face-to-face conversation is important. It will have a positive effect on those that we interact with in life (bosses, colleagues, etc.). Also, these skills are great to have on hand for future work presentations.
