I honestly believe that the habit of communicating via technology is causing a generation of socially inept people. It seems like almost everyone I talk to in the 16-28 year old age range is extremely nervous and awkard when carrying on face-to-face conversations with people.

That's because all your friends and acquaintances in that age group are internet nerds.
I actually still prefer the phone to instant message or an email. If I had talk to someone RIGHT AWAY it means that it was important enough for me to get an immediate response to the matter at hand. Don't get me wrong though; e-mail and a quick IM are perfectly serviceable options if they're available but, for me, nothing beats the phone call.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
