Communication in the Technology Era

Have you ever played whisper down the lane? You say something really rude that you want everyone to laugh at but by the time it gets down to the very end its a completely different message, right? Doesn't life ever feel like that? Especially in this new technological era.
Jokes are taken the wrong way and you're punished.
Rumors spread like wildfire. They may not even start like that. Shouldn't we go to the source and figure out the facts?
Everything is getting so jumbled and confusing anymore. Whatever happened to talking face to face or writing actual letters. Now people text each other from across a lunch table and send email.
I long for those days when you actually spent hours hanging with people and TALKED. Or anticipating getting a letter from a friend/relative in the mail. Those were the days of understanding and innocence. Is anybody else with me or am I just crazy?
Take some time away from electronics and do stuff the old fashioned way for a while. Maybe you'll keep some mailmen in a job and actually understand what's going on in your surrounding.
