Communication

I recently started keeping track of my activities the past few weeks in a journal and found that people, including myself, tend to over rely on technology in terms of communicating and sometimes not communicating at all. Devices such as ipods, blackberries, mass media, television, and internet have seemed to cut out personal interaction between human beings. For instance people seem to shut out everyone else whether walking down the street while listening to your ipod or talking on your cell phone. These new technologies seem to have diminished our capabilities to communicate personally with one another. 

I've also found that older generations like the baby boomers often rely less on technology to communicate with one another. They are much more likely to communicate in person or over the phone rather than texting, emailing, instant messaging, or any other means. These generations seem much more likely to say hello to somebody while walking down the street while younger generations seem to just listen to their ipod, text on their blackberries, and overall not openly communicate. I was wondering what people think of my assessment and if they feel the same way as I do?
