communication
November 5th, 2005I think people talk less then they used to. There is probably more communication overall, but verbal talking seems to be going away. Well, that seems to be the case for me at least. This morning I woke up, discussed my day plans with a friend, coordinated when we would meet up, even decided on breakfast… but it wasn’t until after a few hours I said my first verbal words. It sort of caught me off guard, the groggily voice, and made me realize how little I had actually spoken out loud.
Then I started thinking, this has been happening more and more. Even the telephone is now an easy second to email. I would say that more of my day consists of communicating using my fingers then my voice. Which is sort of silly, since my writing ability is not all that great either.
Oh, and, if you would like me to read you this, give me a call. :)

Yes, same here. In fact, on days when I have to do a lot of talking, my throat often gets sore within 20-30 minutes — e.g. during a presentation.
