When we write posts or respond to posts at sites that pay, we post and respond because we get paid for that activity The posts cover many subjects including what goes on in one’s life. Having said that all what is posted here I can assure you will not be covered in a real life conversation.
With Internet at our disposal we have information just by clicking the mouse. And nor do we talk about what goes on in our life which is more a trend than an exception.
We have a guest here and she thought may be she is sharing some information with us but sadly I had to tell her that I already know it as it is on the Net. To that extent therefore our conversation is restricted.

Has the quality of conversations gone down in the real world?

No

I think that even if we already know some information, that’s not restricting a conversation. Any conversation can show some new points of view or lead to another topic if the people are interested in communicating with each other.
That is if the one who knows ‘everything’ is interested in talking abou it.
If the person is important to us, I guess it won’t hurt too much hearing something we already know once again.
Discussing what is already known could be a waste of time, in my opinion
I still advocate conversations live and not on the internet.
I would too. But that is not happening the way it used to.
Yes, you are right. The Internet is no so fabulous.
It has taken away the joy of a quality conversation
Yes , since we forgot and crossed the all limits of ethics .
Crossed all limits of ethics? Where online or in the real world?
It is good to have meaningful conversation face to face.
There is a world of a different between what it used to be and now
I believe that yes with the internet the art of conversation has dropped. Many people prefer to talk to people online rather than person to person. This has both good and bad points.
I cannot see any good points when on just uses the phone but is not interested in meeting face to face (lol)
In some cases, they live worlds apart. I know, people from all over the world that I have met online. I would love to be able to meet them in person, but I do not think that will ever happen
One online contact came over with her friend and spent a couple of days with us. She is from the UK
That must have been nice. I would to meet some of the writers that I have met online.
