The Guardian - How to talk to anyone: The experts guide.

Article

This article is a collection of interviews by Rosie Ifould, in which they discuss the 'How to's' of creating conversation which several different kinds of people (from parents to doctors). In the interviews, the interviewees give tips on how to create a good and positive conversation with a certain kind of person - and how to create a good relationship with them. It seems to me that this article is put together to also highlight the affect technology has had on our ability to communicate with others - the fact that they have highlighted very basic and straight forward things shows me this, and it could also be seen as being quite humorous. The 'secrets' this panel shares seem to have become secrets because of the uprising of technology, almost saying that nobody knows how to communicate anymore.
