It seems young people are connecting with each other in so many different ways in this world with the increase of technology. As an adult and a parent I often have to remind myself to look away and pay attention to my kids...eye contact, active listening, real focus and emotional contact...as opposed to the bare minimum nods and "uh huhs" to my kids. They know the difference between authentic communication and passive attention. Just as we adults get frustrated with battling for attention with computers, tv, ipods etc.
