TED Talk Reaction

I partially agree with the Ted Talk; I think that a lack of communication can be a problem, but I don't acknowledge that it is to the extent she is describing. Part of my skepticism stems from her lack of Ethos and data. She rattled off several prime examples of people who were socially awkward or who had no urge to interact with others. I will not change any of my current habits because I believe I am well above the social comfort level of my peers. My parents always strived for me to talk to adults and kids instead of them asking for me. I am perfectly comfortable with being alone and have no problems with short solitude. I will however, inculcate these values into my children because I want them to have the same advantages I do.
