Re: What Are You Thinking About?
Am I the only one who has noticed that many teens today (especially the guys) seem to always sound as if they're in a daze when they speak?
I work at a grocery store where I'm around quite a few teenagers and I also have teenaged customers sometimes. Many times I've noticed that they talk in a tone of voice that makes them sound like they're in a constant daze. They speak in a pretty slow fashion, in this monotone type of voice, with no emotion or animation. Seriously, it's like they have difficulty thinking well enough to speak in a normal, average speed fashion. I just wonder what they're going to do when applying to a more serious job than sacking groceries. People aren't going to take them seriously when they sound so uneducated. (Now don't take that the wrong way. I'm not saying they are uneducated; it's just that the way they sound gives the impression they are not intelligent.)
I never noticed this when I was in school with my classmates. I wonder if it has to do with so many kids nowadays communicating more using nonverbal methods. They don't get as much experience speaking properly since there are so many nonverbal ways to have conversations.
