I will add a ditto to this Veech share. My nephews are totally into
these new channels. Thankfully, my Sister and her Husband, and, my older
Brother are not. I have a new neighbor, and he is very much into F2F
sharing of vocabulary! Real Words!
Now, I suppose that should I become deaf (big bummer), I may be forced
to learn these new 'comm channels.' Hope not. Don't need the pain ATM
FWIW! ............... :)

It's a different world now. Drives me nuts how much my kids and even
my wife communicate by texting. A topic that could be discussed and
resolved in a five-minute phone call takes two hours of back-and-forth
on text, and usually something gets taken out of context or
mis-understood. My fear is that we will lose the art of conversation
and eventually face-to-face communication. fwiw, Facebook is now
going the way of Myspace as twitter and tweeting/texting are becoming
more prevalent. Why bother posting complete thoughts on FB when an
abbreviated, truncated 160-character field makes it EZ 4 U 2 B laZ lol.

When I listen to him talk about additions to THE FB I just wonder
what world I live in today. Why would anyone what all their stuff out
there like that? Has Zuck ever heard of TMI? Why do people need to
share all that on THE FB? Is face to face or phone or a trip now and
then or using photobucket to share photos with family so ancient
now? Does the fact that something hasn't been done before
automatically mean it is a good thing to do now or ever? I'm 53 now,
but I think by the time I die the world will be so different I will
feel as if I'm dying on a different planet.
I think I got old...
