Worse. I'm not one of those people who think technology is evil and destroying communication, because we are actually communicating a lot more--but I'm a strong believer that giving two year olds ipads to keep them happy instead of actually interacting with them and playing with them is really hurting face to face communication skills.
I also read an interesting article a while back looking at how kids' comfidence and relationships with their parents are suffering because when they're doing something and look back at their parents to gauge their reactions their parents are on their phones.
I just don't think kids are going to have enough real life social skills to make it.

@boklenholley7 agree totally.
I work with kids. More and more very young children are starting school with very little in the way of communication skills, more and more speech difficulties and dreadful social skills.
It gets worse every year. I can not see it improving. The way things have changed in the last 7 years or so is frightening.
