Communication...is there an app for that or is that prehistoric?

Here's the truth:
I'm walking to the store... they're on their cell phones.
I'm driving and she almost hits my car... she's on her cell phone.
She wants to know more about her spouse...there's an app for that.
You wanna find a date, get a kiss, leave town, find out when the next episode is on, check Facebook, Myspace, write a post on Twitter, find out the exact location of someone (to the point where you can see their home and not through a map but an actual live photo)...you name it, you got...there's an app for that.
You can do it all through an app or just directly through your phone.

Now while you may be feeling excited at the thought of this and thinking how cool it is that we are in the future, have you ever stopped to think for a sec that this future is starting to set us back. I'm not trying to sound like our parents complaining about gadgets but I must honestly say I can't remember when was the last time I had a straight 1 hour conversation with another human being in which we devoted our full attention to one another without for one second checking our phones, downloading a ring tone, or txting.
Whatever happened to a conversation?...You know, the prehistoric means of exchanging ideas and goals or just simply bitching about life. Where did that go? With all these superficial conversations and drinking and smoking and who knows what else, how much do you really know about someone? How much can you say you really like someone if half the time your stoned, drunk, or paying attention to whatever technological gadgets are in your surroundings? Don't get me wrong, some things are amazing or more so exciting. I get excited as well to see touch screen this and 3D that's and video games that move to your movements. It's only natural that it would be fascinating to us because it is something absolutely new and unique. But the way we communicate with one another as human beings now a days, having a lengthy conversation in which you exchange genuine ideas, thoughts, worries or angst would be the true unique thing.
So true communication...is there an app for that or is that all prehistoric?
