I Don’t Want To Be Your Friend
Nor will I even bother to open an email without a subject line.
OK, in fairness, I don’t use communications in general the way the 20-somethings (or less!) Facebook is trying to cultivate do; even with actual friends, my messages are more along the lines of “are you free for dinner next Friday?” than “Hey, I’m around, wanna meet up?”
It was one of the things that was beginning to drive me bonkers when I still worked in the Corporate World… What’s up with the instant messages and the chats? In a business situation, I prefer a more reasoned response than the first thing you can punch out on your phone in 140 characters or less.
And why do my kids prefer a long text conversations going back and forth for twenty minutes when a two minute phone call would cover everything?
