I grew up without the electronic devices some here take as their everyday convenience.
Had to do math, trig, the old fashion way, pencil and a piece of paper.
I did not get a computer until I was well in my 40's, at least 10 years ago.
So what has this to do with the topic you ask?
Communicating on a personal level isn't just eyeballs and touch-screens, it has to be deeper, and those of us who now use this form of communication must be aware that not all of us grew up with the privilege of calculators, gps, twitter, and FB. We actually had to talk to people.
Fast forward to today. How I operate here is how I operate face to face, because communication is still an art form.
