final conclusion for experiment

Well this weekend I had a volleyball tournament so I did not have time to text on my phone nor did I have time to check facebook and comment. I didn't miss it at all. The way that we communicate with each other through modern devices is very impersonal and it bothers me that this is the way that we chose to communicate. Although letters are still a way of communication today, it is deemed inconvenient because of the time it takes to receive and send. I think that it is more personal and definitely more exciting to receive a letter in the mail knowing that it has gone to different places until finally settling down in your mailbox. Through this experiment I have experienced withdrawals from texting and facebooking and I found that they are not as important or necessary in our lives as we hold them to be. These ways of communicating are just substitutes for confrontation and human contact. I prefer human contact because you get to know what a person is thinking or how they are feeling not through a screen, but from their face.
