I don't think there's such thing as 'becoming just too good at communicating'. If people can't seem to communicate their feelings that is not 'too good'. Not everyone can understand everyone 100% of the time, regardless of any situation.
Nor can people understand one another if they didn't spend some time to communicate. Understanding needs time and willingness to well... understand. The thing is that understanding is a long time process and if it looks like relationship collapses due to 'communication failure' that can mean that there weren't good communication over a period of time, it doesn't just happen in no time.So better communication was needed but for some reason it just didn't happen.
So I think more often than not we still have room to improve. Cats and dogs are not the only ones who need more work in this area. Just for laughs come over to watch this cute funny misunderstanding:hubpages.com/hub/Cat-slaps-Dog-Its-so-funny.
Communication is important but over communication kills. We now need to master the art of "just right" words. A well done communication never ends in vain.
How about this question and answer option on Hub Pages?! Hay, what a great idea. But maybe it is called virtual communication, or not at all.
Further to your thesis, I find that people have evolved considerably to the point that technology has not been allowed to dominate our communication needs, except I am afraid to say, in the area of ring tones?
Communication is the most important part of a healthy relationship. Yes, there are many times that we pick up on other peoples' true feelings without it being explicitly said, but the majority of fights are due to miscommunication - forgetting to relay a message, telling a little white lie, being insensitive, failing to keep friends adequately informed. So, no, people overwhelmingly do not communicate well enough.
Definitions of communication differ. I don't think people are communicating nearly as much as they used to. Texting and cell phones seem to have given people the illusion of contact and communication.
However I see them drifting into cyber space. More losing touch with reality than "being in touch all the time. " Beside to me "in touch" requires tactile input.My closest friends know that if you call me on the phone you have about 10 minutes before I simply hang up.
If the conversation doesn't play it self out by then, well it's probably boring. But I can sit on the porch with a friend and talk about anything for hours.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
