Question

Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife two teenage children did something we haven't for ages. It didn't require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries or anything else for that matter. But we all it so much we're thinking of doing it again sometime.

We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the of communicating face-to-face. We all know young people are out on a date(約會)these days, they spend most of that time their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually to them.

If we carry on like this, in the future, we'll lose the use of our . What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!
