or should i say you took the tap right out of my type bec...
common isn't so common nowadays - true that!
i fear that the kids of tomorrow will loose all sense of 'the art of communication'..i really do..
or do i? do i really want to communicate with the socially inapt? or.. should i be trying to engage and educate this 'art' just like my mother, my grandmother, my grandmother's grandmother?
but we cant deny that we are living in an increasingly cyber society...nowadays 'the young ones' dont say, "hey, how are you doing?" they tweet, they foursquare they FB, they skype they type...
but bec we do all this too!!!!!! but key is...we were born when there wasn't all this technology..so we naturally know how to communicate in a way that we would say is 'good mannered' AND we relate with people on all social platforms...maybe these so called bad mannered people (youth?) simply dont have the skills we were born with!
i dont know what way to go...engage the 'bad mannered' techno generation and say ' put down your iphone' look me in the eye and say 'hey, how you doing?' or...say nothing at all?
it's a pickle
And may I just say that since my little rant I have had many courtesy waves come my way when I have been out n about on the roads...
ReplyDeleteI think it's amazing how just a little bit of grace and such a small gesture, can make you feel so good. And you know what, its FREE, doesn't cost anything, doesn't even cost you time really cause you do it whilst your doing something else, like parking the car...
Oh and also - am yet to come across much common sense still tho... Still not sure its common at all..
