Transformation of Communication

I saw this video:

My reaction: "wow."
So many thoughts, ideas, and opinions came to mind after watching the video. I had to talk to someone about it (there's the super extrovert in me). Below is a conversation between my friend, Melissa, and I.

Psychology side: 

But really. If you think about how people communicate -- it's a training process. The moment you're born, you learn how to communicate with your mother to let her know you're hungry, or feel bad, and need some action to be taken. 

Then, you needed to communicate with friends and family members in order to be part of society -- so you started to use a language as a means of communication. You were taught the grammar behind talking both technically in school and socially through trial and error. The whole time you're training to communicate effectively. 

Now you introduce the new era of technology. Instant communication. You have the opportunity to communicate with others without having to be in front of them. So what do you do? Similar to a school paper, you think of all the things you have to say and all the ideas you want to convey, then you organize those thoughts. Think about it. Important emails, fighting via text message with your significant other, giving bad news... If we've gotten used to doing this all virtually or via writing, will it change when we have to speak it and are not used to saying it anymore?

Marketing side: 

If you think about it, if we train our brain to communicate in this manner... what does that mean for when you're speaking in person? Interviewing? Working on a case? or need to show any form of being a strong communicator? 

I guess the question I'm trying to argue here is: Is technology, social media, and the ease of virtual communication making us inefficient communicators?
