Are smartphones killing the art of face-to-face conversation? We ask the experts

In the article “Are smartphones killing the art of face-to-face conversation? We ask the experts” it talks about how in some ways smart phones are killing communication face to face. It states that in some aspects of communication smart phones ruin the tone of body language or facial expressions when showing emotions. This is caused because in texts you can’t show body language besides using emojis and even those don’t really give the full meaning of what someone is talking about. It also talks about that “29 percent of Americans chose text as their preferred method of conversing with others, compared to 40 percent of millennials” this could be bad because if people are just always texting and never talking to someone face to face it can ruin the purpose of communication in the real world.
