In a world filled with mobile phones and social networking websites, Is face-to-face talk being pushed to the margins? Does modern technology help or hinder conversation? There are people out there, who take it to the extreme, and don't find the art of having a face to face conversation enjoyable. It also has repercussions, especially in the professional world where those skills are important to everyday clients and employees. Modern technology has been abused, to the point that many people cannot make a decision for themselves. People can't find the time to engage you with their eyes when they talk to you, because they are so pre- occupied with who they are talking with in cyber world. Only a few of us find it easy to write down or express our feelings they way we use to. The school system is now failing as a result, because students are too busy texting in the classrooms, and not paying enough attention for incorrect spelling or grammar mistakes in the classroom, that technology can' teach them.As a result they fail to meet standards, when they go off in the real world. Families no longer have the time to sit around the dinner table, to have a basic conversation anymore, as a result, parents don't know what is going on in their children's lives. Truly, The art of learning real and true conversation begins at home, but sadly communication between parent and child is happening less and less these days. How about a disagreements between love interest or spouse, but not having the communication skills to work things out for the better, because the art of expression ourselves, is now longer there, resulting in divorce or separation. The art of conversation is dead!! taking over by a new generation, that no longer has the ability connect face to face, because of the mind control technology has on their minds, which will have bad implications in the years to come, when it comes to relationships, between family, friends, spouses and colleagues in the changing world. I'm not saying, give up technology as a whole, because I'm for technology, when it comes to the progression of humankind, but don't forget the most important gift, that separates us from the animals, and that's the art of conversation
