The Silent Generation: The Loss of Human Communication Skills
We live in a world more connected than ever—but paradoxically, many of us are speaking less and listening even less. Face-to-face conversations are giving way to texts, DMs, and emojis. As a result, human communication skills are quietly fading.
This shift isn’t just about technology. It’s about a cultural trend that prioritises speed, convenience, and digital reaction over deep, personal connection. Some call this emerging group the “Silent Generation” of today—not by birth year, but by behaviour.

Why We Speak More, But Say Less
We live in a time where everyone is talking—but few people are truly connecting. Messages fly. Notifications ping. Yet meaningful conversation is fading into silence.
The Silent Generation: The Loss of Human Communication Skills explores what has been quietly slipping away in our personal lives, workplaces, and relationships. This course is not about technology alone. It is about what we are losing when real human conversation becomes a forgotten skill.
