The Sounds of Silence

What ever happened to the art of conversation? It's funny that no people can't just sit and talk anymore, they always have to do something. It's sad that we can't just talk about everything and nothing at the same time. I wonder if it is the changing aspect of our language. I read somewhere that even though we add new words each year, peoples vocabularys are smaller. Personaly I think it is our society. Everything is all rush rush. Instant gratification. Everything is complex that we don't take the time to enjoy the simple plesures of life. And the most simplest is talking, getting to realy know someone. I dread the day when all comunication will be done in mono-sylables, basic grunts. As for me I'll just sit and enjoy the conversations with anyone who bothers to take the time.
