So I am an optimist when it comes to technology and communication, but we do have to adjust and adapt. And the big thing we have to remind ourselves is in the workforce we have multiple generations and some of the generations, more likely the younger generations, are more comfortable and used to using technology and those of my generation or older aren't.

Those of us who study it have found it across all cultures. It tends to start around the same time. Young teens are when our anxiety around speaking in front of others really takes off. And you're right. It's not just planned communication. It's also in the moment spontaneous speaking, which if you think about it is most of our communication. So it's part of being human.

We're in this transition phase and we all just have to remember that we're all learning and we learn at a different pace. But I do think technology can help us communicate, we just have to leverage it appropriately.

We feel threatened by the opportunity to be up in front of others. Those of us who study it think it has an evolutionary origin to it. When our species was evolving, we would hang out in groups of about 150 people, and your relative status in that group meant everything. And when I say status, I don't just mean who's driving a fancy car, who has the most social media followings.

The need to communicate spontaneously, I think, is the same. I actually think that all generations struggle, but for different reasons. Younger generations, in my observation, tend to struggle with the connection piece. A lot of spontaneous communication is about connection.
