Do you know the reasons why having conversation in person is still important? I know that we live in a fast world with gadgets that help us to communicate faster with one another. However, just because something is faster does not mean that it is always better. I believe that we have lost the art of communication. A text message or email suffices when dealing with professional matters. However, I just think that we should hold personal relationships to a higher standard.
A text message can not soothe or comfort like a face to face visit can. You can not read the words behind a person’s eyes through a phone. Even when speaking through text, our words can at times become lost in translation. We are human beings. Gadgets are great and make our busy lives easier but it means so much when we take time out of our chaotic lives just to spend face-to-face time.
Having conversation in person is still important. It keeps us connected. It reminds us that we need one another. It helps us to feel love that can only be felt when standing in the presence of another human being. Don’t forsake human contact because we can text, email or use Facebook chat to fill our loved ones in about what we have going on. There is nothing like being there. Take the time to spend time with the people that you love. Do you think having conversation in person is still important?
