I actually prefer face to face communication. For me, the order of perferred communication goes:

Face to face
Email
Phone (I hate phones.)
Letter (They take forever...)

But I'm old fashioned, you see...

Okay, I really think e-mail sucks.

There is definitely something to be said for anonymous online conversation, but when it extends to people you know irl it gets a little weird.

I'd rather have total strangers who I'll never see know my business as opposed to people I see on a daily basis. I'm assuming others feel the same which is why they come online.

Laziness and convenience probably killed the necessity to meet people face to face.

"Oh, I don't have to actually leave my house and meet up with this person to talk to them, I can just text/IM/facebook them!"

I do like hanging out though. :(

The other day I called up a friend to hang out for an hour or two, he lives close by, so it's no burden.

We just sat around and talked, actually DOING nothing. It's just fun, it's a nice way to kick back, and infinitely more satisfying than expressionless boring otl communication.

To be truly honest, people overtax themselves with multi-tasking, and attempt to try communicating with others via bookface while doing work and whatnot. Also, long distance communication is impossible to be done face to face.

Personally, I prefer face to face, which is why I usually leave my cell phone home when I go out on weekends (and to avoid drunk texts). It's just nicer to be with people talking as opposed to sitting on a computer chatting (although this is slightly ironic right now).
