I somewhat agree with this. Look at text messaging....no one "talks" to anyone anymore. I can imagine that people skills are a skill that needs practice, just like anything else. If it has been 6 months since you have had a phone conversation, have you lost some of the ability? Then again maybe it's like riding a bike and you never really forget how to interact face to face, ear to ear with a human. I can imagine though that the lack of human interaction can wear on a persons ability to hold a face to face conversation.
The web has probably changed us all! Now we are stuck to our computers forever!! I haven't seen a PC not connected to the net in some way for quite a long time! Our computers don't get enough exercise and we need to change that!
Years ago 'smoking' was one of the biggest social tools of them all.....I met and started many, many, conversations and friendships by offering someone a smoke or by accepting a smoke....and in 'groups' of friends it was always like some kind of friendship bonding ritual for everyone to take turns passing out the cigarettes.....I can even remember that sometimes when I went into a real rough pub on my own, where I didn't know anyone, it wasn't unusual for the pubs obvious 'hard guy' to have the cheek to come up and scrounge a cigarette...and by happily giving him one, it was like I had passed a test and became accepted in the pub. .......perhaps e-cigs will become the new conversations starters........"hi mate is that the NV 5000 GT you are vaping?....are they any good?"
