When 'Like' button is not common some 5 years back in blogging environment, as a blogger we all tend to leave some comment about the post, be it quoting a line or recollecting our own experience. But these buttons had really stopped myself in responding such a way. All I do is click a button that's all. Now slowly getting into practice of leaving some comment in any such social media platforms.

It is good that this is connected with child's language development.

That is such an interesting observation, thank you! We engage with so much content that we rush to the next content in the queue. So we have time only to click buttons :)

This is insightful. Liking a post or picture usually feels like I have made a conversation, but it isnt.

Thank you Sandhya! Yes, books are such wonderful tools to start and prolong conversations! They deserve an exclusive post for themselves ;) Looking forward to your continued participation!

Enjoyed reading this note, Sriram! It is so true that today even adults require ‘language nutrition’ to help hold a conversation with their friends and family. Fast food communication, as you mentioned aptly, is slowly ruining the art of communication and slowly being reduced to gibberish that even ‘Dothraki’ seems to be following a structure in comparison.

Thank you, Shashank! You are so right in pointing out that adults are unable to hold conversations these days, thanks to "language malnutrition". It's high time we reflect and act on this :)
