Unconventional communication: Why the Internet isn't ruining everything
"Technology is making human communication look a lot different. If you think about it, the way that communication looks now is much, much different than it looked even ten years ago. But I don't think that's changing anything fundamental about the nature of human communication."
—Tanya Goldhaber
