call it modern age sickness - where face to face conversation and physical contacts are replaced by cold, calculating electronic typings and long range communications. there was even a news, where a guy divorce his wife using sms - which of course is completely not legal in terms of law

i saw a scene couple days ago, which brings a sudden sadness across my heart - my relatives came crashing down for family visit, along with 2 sons. Despite being blood brothers, i saw them sitting aside texting on their phones more than actually talk to each other.

makes me wonder - has the younger generation losing the ability to conduct verbal communication?
