Reflection #11

With more jobs and focuses in the field of technology, will we lose our ability to socialize well with our community?  Many companies have different methods of communicating now, without the need for face to face contact.  I worry that we are moving toward a society that will forget how to behave or socialize.

This trend has shown through oral and written grammar; grammar has increasingly adapted to oral traditions due to the lack of consistency in school standards (many high schools do not even require grammar to be taught).  It also has shown in handwriting.  Some schools have phased out cursive handwriting, when at one point, it was a necessity.

Are we losing our foundations?
