It's a difficult thing to do. Since I did read the whole thread, I've got responses to most of the previous posts. Can I actually respond to them all without the appearance of a twitter joke? Perhaps it's my timing but the medium provided by forums is many inputs and opinions on one topic, not always in a linear order.
I don't see how everybody could suddenly be busier and feigning their conversation efforts to avoid dropping a unique discussion. Maybe people are adjusting to all these new things (multitasking between IM's, emails, hulu) aggressively, spending less time with more communications before learning to operate all of them together. I'm leaning towards that possibility because every generation thinks the youngins are different, and practice nonsensical methods of everything normal. I'm young but feel the same way about communications, which could be explained by the breadth and scale of changes in the Internet world.
