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. I think it's sad.

I really agree with this.
But ha ha I'm a hypocrite. Like nuttyturnip, I prefer to bounce an email or a message to someone so I don't have to deal with the conversation that could possibly ensue. Especially if I am at work or trying to get shit done, it's easiest to send a little note. (This is all assuming I am dealing with women. If I am aiming to deal with a man, I will often call or meet up. They're never too chatty or time-consuming. They're more "GET TO THE POINT ALREADY.")
I don't like to spend more time than necessary on a phone or face-to-face. If I have nothing to do or no projects going down, I'll pick up the phone or meet up to discuss, but then I could be impeding on the OTHER person's projects.
So I try to keep things nice and clean, that way multitasking is an option.
But this is pretty much the office environment. I don't like taking personal calls, I try to avoid wasting time on the phone needlessly, so on.
