Generation Lost On Communication

Today's youth have lost the art of face to face communication skills. They have completely fallen prey to the text messaging craze that was once a business tool for pure paging and is now the substitute for conversation as we know it.

Look around. It's everywhere. There isn't a child in middle school or high school that isn't affected by all of this. The real problem is that one day they will have to carry on as all adults do and speak. Speak for themselves, their family, perhaps their company. But at age 30 they will have spent 18 to 30 years thumbing their conversations. Is this progress?

What if, now pause before we all go nuts, what if we authroized our schools to collect all cell phones at the door. Stop the texting. Make the children talk. When I was in school teachers would have loved to have had something to shut us up. Well ask and receive. Now as I watch the situation grow even more challenging the switch has taken place and we are way too far to the right on this one.

We need to ease our children back into engaging straight talk. No texting. Just honest to good tying up the land lines. Take back what was once a Teenagers right of passage the home phone. Get them talking before we have a generation of single word replies or perhaps two : "uh ha". That one is very popular when we ask a question.

All out effort and we take back our childrens ability to communicate. Won't be easy but think about the pluse up we get with the family closeness all of this will bring. Enjoy the talks.

We look forward to your comments.
