What happened to talking in person? Now it's all artificial. Texting, online chat,...

...etc... What do you think? Ok, I'm really annoyed because society today is getting sadder and sadder by the minute. People that like each other aren't even talking in person anymore, or if they do they act like they never had that conversation on texting. Through texting people are showing how much they like someone by putting smiley faces, hearts, and even asking each other out and saying they love each other for the first time on texting. This sickens me. What happened to looking forward to seeing the one you like? Why don't people call each other anymore? When I first got a phone I called my guy friend who i've been best friends with my entire life and he said he had to go, and to text him. He was really awkward on the phone, but when we were kids we would call each other all the time and even write letters. Relationships are meaning less and less today, and people's social skills are getting worse and worse. This depresses me. I deleted facebook for this very reason, because I felt like most of the people on my friends list never even call me or hang out with me, and at school most don't even say hi or act like I'm their friend. What is your opinion on this? I'm really interested so please tell me.
