When it comes to communicating my favorite will always be talking directly to someone in person. I know the culture is changed and everyone wants to text or use social media but I see it as losing the art form of verbal language and the ability to meaningfully connect and convey a message, having the ability to create interpersonal relationships is so important. I have seen kids that are afraid to talk to people because this fear of "not knowing how to" say or ask questions and being afraid of what those responses might be followed up with body language. The thought that they would have to see and hear that scares them. Its easier to hide behind a keyboard and say what you have to say without worrying about what the response is going to be.
Social media is fun and texting can be a great tool. But when the message is important, I prefer getting it out in person because things like tone and body language can make so much of a difference. Having a lot of different ways to communicate creates nice diversity, but my preferred method of communication will be a nice meet up and lets talk in person.
