Katrina, who is sixteen years old, would consider it rude for someone to read a book during a conversation. However, she thinks that someone reading and responding to messages on his or her phone is socially acceptable. One reason that young people may find nothing wrong with answering texts during a conversation is that:.
a) they believe online interaction can enhance face-to-face interaction, especially if one is looking up information relevant to the conversation.
b) they believe online communication is more important than face-to-face communication.
c) people can use non-verbal communication in face-to-face interactions.
d) there is an expectation to keep up with the latest technology and applications.
