Yes, I see the irony that I am asking the question inside a blog

It just seems weird that people can type and text out replies, but the art of conversation and discussion using words from verbal exchanges seem to be losing their hold. When a person asks for my help, they email, text, or google chat me (FYI, Google chat works like an old version of AIM ).

Speech seems more like a secondary language to modern tech integrated generations, since the concept of short text seems to have caught into mainstream and professional use.

Do we really need to talk anymore to keep society functioning?

I know it seems like science fiction, but it is not beyond the realm of possibility, when we can achieve so much without the need for a decibel of sound.
