@dwnews: People are speaking around 338 fewer words daily each year, new research shows. From 2005 to 2019 test subjects spoke a whopping 28 percent less. The main culprit is likely technology that takes away the need for humans to talk to get things done — everyday things that make our lives easier or faster, but remove the need to speak with someone else in the process. The problem, according to experts we spoke to, is that not only is speaking a skill that we need to practice — it's also good for our well-being. #dwcurrentaffairs
Tech isn't the only reason we speak less. Social changes like the end of multi-generational housing and people having fewer siblings also contribute.

She should have tested in Sweden. I can go for weeks without talking. Just with some clients once or twice a week.

Speaking less = more misunderstandings and unmet needs?

As an elementary school teacher who has been teaching for 15 years I’ve seen students oral language getting poorer over the last decade. It’s sad.
