Does anyone talk anymore?

What is going on with this world? Don't people talk anymore? Seriously. With today's modern technology we rarely have to speak to anyone. Between e-mail, instant messaging, and texting our phones are rarely used. I have been ranting about this for awhile now. The icing on the cake for me was yesterday when I discovered that my son, who has a subscription for 1500 text messages a month, was 800 over that and has 2 weeks left in the month!!!!! Here's the kicker...he only used 57 minutes of talk time and over 2,300 text messages. It's a phone! Why don't they talk??????????
Don't get me wrong...I love technology. Like this blog allows me to stay in touch and so does e-mail, but I write in sentences and paragraphs not text lingo. I also pick up the phone and call people and talk to random people while I'm out shopping. The kids now days have their faces shoved in the cell phone typing their little thumbs off! I won't be surprised when people are texting their vowels to one another! People text like crazy but put them in a room together and they act like they don't know each other. I even had one girl tell me that she sat on the couch next to her friend, no one else was there, and they texted each other! WTF?! Am I old and out of touch? Whatever...I just needed to vent.
