We are talking less to people than we used to; study finds drop in spoken words and social skills

From 2005 to 2019, the art of conversation has seen a notable decline, mainly due to the surge in digital interactions. This trend is particularly evident among younger generations who engage less in direct dialogue. While audio content offers entertainment, it lacks the personal touch of face-to-face communication. Rebuilding these small yet meaningful human connections is essential to enhancing our social bonds.
