You're talking about a younger generation, Generation Y, whose interpersonal communication skills are different from Generation X. The younger generation is more comfortable saying something through a digital mechanism than even face to face.

I'm a good communicator, and I'm a good translator. I can talk to engineers; I can talk to people for whom technology is not remotely interesting or even maybe scary - things like that.

The pace at which people are taking to digital technology defies our stereotypes of age, education, language and income.

I believe that if I wasn't born in this technological and 'social media' era, I would have found another way to express myself.

It's nice to be able to communicate digitally with people around the world.

Technology is something you have to embrace because technology is part of our generation. Digital natives, for instance, are people who grew up in a world that always had the Internet and who always had smartphones. Millennials aren't too far behind: my generation of people, who were in the mix of the Internet when it first came out.

While the digital age has done so much to improve our world, it has dramatically changed our social structure, often further isolating us from each other.

I think there's a gigantic generation gap in terms of how people understand the Internet and how much they think technology is an important factor in social change.

I like to write in coffee shops in countries in which languages I do not speak are spoken. That way, you're surrounded by the buzz of humanity, but you aren't distracted by people's conversations.
