The lack of interpersonal relationships remains to be a focus of many research studies determining if this leaves social media users more or less connected to peers.

Results from this study find that the most depressive subjects recorded are from people who report low friendship quality and mainly use the Internet for non-communication purposes.

It can be as simple as a nod to the barista at Starbucks or a "have a good day" at the drive-thru window while getting your breakfast sandwich. It can be as involved as participating in a job interview or a brainstorming session. Every word and every action, or inaction, means something. Even ignoring someone is communicating.
