communication tools vs communication skills

The two young contrators painting my house are outside on their lunch break, casually minding the texting/surfing on their respective cell phones.

Makes me think that, with all the communication tools that technology has given us, we may be losing the ability to actually communicate.

Aside: And here I am, blogging about it rather than getting out there and getting to know them/anyone.

Or, communication tools have allowed us the luxury(?) of being able to be more specific about who and what we want to talk with and about (and listen to). If that's so, are we any further ahead?
