Thus far today I have communicated with various persons by the following means:
I spoke with several people face to face.
I spoke to two people on the phone.
I wrote some thank-you notes by hand.
I typed some emails.
I posted on Facebook.
I Tweeted on Twitter.
I messaged.
I gestured at a fellow driver. (No, that kind of gesture; I indicated that he should feel free to pull out of his parking space.)
I worked on a paper which is destined to be delivered in a rallying tone to an audience at a symposium in a couple of weeks.
I blogged.
All this mades me feel like a very fluent 21st century communicator; look at all the different forms I've mastered!
However, last night I was talking with my daughter (on the phone: unusual because we usually email or message) and she informed me that she doesn't Twitter, she Snap-Chats. She explained Snap-Chat to me. I was dubious, but asked if I should sign up for it. She said that she felt it would probably not be worth the trouble, since I probably didn't know enough people who could or would Snap-Chat with me. She is perfectly right.
Also, I'm not sure how many more different ways to say things to people I can absorb before my head explodes.
