Some youth rethink online communications - Yahoo! News: "Though he's not anti-technology, Bugeja often lectures students about 'interpersonal intelligence' � knowing when, where and for what purpose technology is most appropriate."
Interesting trend worth watching and studying further. Are teens and young adults realizing that much of the social-networking phenomena is a superficial connection or relationship? Are they craving the more intitmate or authentic interactions of face-to-face encounters and friendship time?
Or is it just part of 'growing up' that leads you this more mature point of view-- seeing that there is a time and place for certain types or formats of communication and that not every interaction fits every available medium? Or to paraphras the quoted professor, 'there's a time and a place for everything'-- learn it.
