Degradation of Humanities Communication Skills, Stop the Devolution!

in #texting8 years ago

Texting is by far the WORST form of communication. Never argue or talk about anything important over texting. (Unless your an English major...even then the other person might not be.) Yet sometimes I feel its the most used form of communication...if people think communication is just about words, then texting would work but human expression is too complex for just words. At least that is assuming we still have deep human emotions and thoughts that need pages to express (or a few seconds of body and vocal language), Or have we come down to just being able to feel instincts, simple needs and wants. Feelings that need around 5-7 words in black print text on a screen , a text message . And if we have. . . why. Aren't us humans the top in the animal kingdom, unique, basically rulers of this world because of our special gift of intelligence, reasoning, critical thinking. We can create cities and electronics or discover how to travel by air, water, ground. Learn of the atoms and of the planets around us. We can connect with anyone on a level so deep that death cant separate. Almost seems some of us are, instead of becoming more complex and unique, becoming more simple like animals, going backwards in evolution. But we aren't, cant let ourselves be satisfied with simplicity. We feel more than a text can show, and use our brains far less than its capable of. Like having a million dollar (idk) most advanced desktop and only using it as a simple addition and subtraction calculator. Don't be afraid to talk more shopping or relationships and drama. If you have a thought or question about the complexities of life say it, or feelings that make you want to text as fast as possible just call or meet up with the person. We are made to be more than receivers (receiving and absorbing everything in media) We are creators and thinkers. Don't just follow your heart...your emotions, Isn't that what animals only do? We aren't just simple animals, we are complex humans. Think with what Gods given you instead of only with what the media feeds you.
