RE:
Nice points.
The advent of technology and a larger working force in my opinion may diminish in person communications. Its a given that people now a days work longer hours, more people are employed compared to 20 yrs ago and technology integration in our everyday life has increased vs 20 yrs ago. What does this all mean?
I feel more communication in future will be done over technology devices (ie. internet, cell phones, PDAs etc) and this is coupled with people having less "leisure" time due to people working longer and harder. Who will have time to meet in person if all these devices can help me do it today?
I can agree that it reduces human intervention and possibly reduce people skills. However, 20-30yrs from now, who knows, the standard may be to gain your people skills electronically. So much has changed over the past 20 yrs. I do wonder what the next 20 yrs will bring us as well.
