In this article‚ David Carr states that technology has made it “fashionable to be rude.” Carr uses the example of a party to prove his point. If you are having a conversation with another individual and they keep looking over your shoulder‚ they are being impolite.

A bead of sweat formed on his zit-covered oily skin and slowly inched down towards his chin‚ despite the chilled temperature of the room in which he sat.
