Modern Communication a Global Conflict?

In the last decade, we have seen a dramatic change in how the world communicates. Social networking has transformed the way people will communicate forever, but Im wondering how it will change human behavior on a world scale. It has changed the ethics of what is said between people because there is less time face to face. Could the loss of these ethics make its way into communication between nations? Many describe modern communication as lazy because technology companies are trying to make interactions and transactions easier. With these new technologies comes the death of personal expression (its hard to express in a text message), and without this problems may not be resolved as quickly or resolved at all. I'm not saying members of the UN are only going to text each other from now on, I'm simply trying to bring the point of lack of actual interactions between people may lead to misunderstandings.
