What roles do the increase in social media and texting contrast with the decrease of letter writing and phone calls. Do we speak in fragments? Are we losing the art of language?

Journal #4 Do you think that we as a society take pride in changing our reality? Mrs. Novotny refuses to take a selfie unless it is in Instagram or Snapchat because she can make herself look 10 years younger with the help of a simple filter.
