I'm kinda hoping for the opposite effect. I'll agree - the internet and with it, messaging services have changed my life - I've made a career out of building stuff on it (the internet) but for relationships, I think it's hurt more. Stuff gets lost in translation with a message. Words can be taken out of context, spell check often interferes, etc... I've been more and more trying to call the person I want to speak to, or - god forbid us - see them in person. Messaging is great when you want to share something; I'm trying to purchase a dog, so I'll message the girl friend pictures of; but I'll do that while I'm on the phone with her or etc... It's much nicer to actually hear someone's voice then to try to interpret what they mean or are trying to say.
