Discribed how communication has changed in the last 20 years

20 years ago it was 1992. Obviously, face book, my space, and twitter weren't around during those times. Although, they did have Internet, so I guess emailing was the best they could do.

Anyways, back then mailing letters, making phone calls or meeting a person at a restaurant or cafe was the form of communication.

Phone: People would talk for hours with their boyfriend/girlfriend, family member(s), friend(s) or acquaintance for hours!

Meeting a person face-to-face: People would arrange days to talk with each other and have a nice chat. In fact, strangers had an easier time starting a conversation, than people do now. And, guess what. They even befriend the people they just met! ( No wonder my dad has a lot of friends.)

Mailing letters: Ha! For a fact, half of you single-minded people don't even know how to make a letter. You put your address, the address you want to ship it to and a stamp. Don't lick, damp with a sponge! Anyways, letters were used for people of long distances or just a simple hello or love letter.


21st Century: Our communication skills suck horribly. There are sooo many awkward people now, its hard to talk! For instance, I was talking to this teenager and he looked uncomfortable talking at the time. So, when we exchanged emails and contact information he emailed me, and he was talking up a storm! I was surprised how he couldn't do that in person. ( Guess he just didn't have people-skills). Oh! I brought up a good point! People-skills! You airheads lack that ability and have now stooped low enough to online communication. Hey, there are good sides to it, but in general teenagers and lower have had the worst, most awkward conversations of all! Oh, my bad. I meant MOST, not all. For example, when I was waiting at a stop light. A girl said hello to me and we began a conversation. She was comfortable speaking too! She wasn't giving me any short answers or hints to want to be left alone. Prime example of people skills. I assume upper class men have that ability, but under....? I think some do, and I mean some.
