But have you seen that there are a rather large group that are consistently "addicted" to technology? Granted, there are addictions throughout the ages, but this one seems particularly dangerous. I'm trying to say that there are people addicted to technology, and that they are not controlling themselves. Social interaction is fine, but not when it takes precedence over your life.

In this situation, I would think that the participants, rather than the medium, is responsible for resolving the conflict.
Granted that the people involved are more of a contributing factor, but in the case of, hypothetically, the same situation between the same people in the 2 different communication mediums, which is more effective?
