As I browsed through tweets, I must admit it seems a world of links and information overload, I don’t see the building of relationships. Maybe I am old school and as yet have to catch up on how to process all the many aspects available at your finger tips.
It is definitely amazing that you can press a key and be sent around the world in seconds and we can be aware of a major crisis immediately. I have a mandate to try and ensure that I pick up the phone and speak to as many individuals as I am able.
For me personally the skills of socialization is very important – it is sometimes difficult to write down in black and white what you truly mean to say, people can interpret a sentence is so many ways but when you are looking at them face-to-face there can be no misunderstanding.

My final comment is that I enjoy the concept of instant communication but I don’t want to live in a “Fast Food” environment my preference is to be “Served”.
