Listening?
I went to Verizon today because my family typed so many text messages last month that it added $40.00 to what I consider a ridiculously large phone bill. We call, we text, we send email, we IM or we use Google chat. But are we listening any better? When we use these tools at work while people are talking, are we listening to them? How many of you have had conversations and then aren't able to remember the topic?
I have to wonder if all these communication tools are helping us listen to each other. Or are we just talking at each other? Or is the answer, like to many other things, "It depends."
Thoughts?
