re: To those that experienced the 80s

Actually I value early electronic communication over both. In the dirt road days of the internet, email was the best of both worlds. You had the communication skills of letter writing with the speed of electronic communication. The issue I have is once business took over the internet they dumbed it down to sell stuff to the masses. The idiot communication we have now is the result.

Possibly, but probably not. Humans are hardwired to communicate like other animals on this earth. While we think we have gotten better in speed and ability when have greatly fallen off in skill.



On a side note, business has dumbed down our taste ability by catering to cheaper salt or sugar flavored foods. 1980's had more mom & pop joints with specific flavor laden recipes.
