With that being said, interpersonal social skills are being lost by the techno-generation. Texting during Thanksgiving dinner is simply unacceptable. When technology interrupts interpersonal interaction, more harm than good ensues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27559754.post-86042627987320029832011-01-28T15:13:05.825-05:002011-01-28T15:13:05.825-05:00Thanks Cherie!

Not to mention texting, etc. during dinners, discussions and so on. But you have mentioned many benefits, so I guess the answer is that it's a question of balance.Caridad Pineirohttp://www.caridad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27559754.post-87856879314644684532011-01-28T12:55:17.353-05:002011-01-28T12:55:17.353-05:00Great post!

I'd lose contact with the hundreds of people I know. I definitely wouldn't want to go back before technology.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.com
