"....our children and their children are learning that 80 characters, or what ever is allowed by text and tweet is the same thing as actually talking to someone."
So true, and it's one of the things I think has eroded and reduced to playground banter the major political campaign discussion in the media, too.
We were already frustrated by serious discussion of world problems and their crises being reduced to the "30 second soundbite" on t.v. Now, serious discussion and national crises have been reduced to the 80 character "tweet".
This is absurd and is teaching our children and grandchildren to completely dismiss the need for in-depth debate and the research and argumentation that it takes to truly inform the public.
