Technological Buffers

It seems that more and more people are using technology as a means to avoid actually avoiding talking to each other rather than a means to enhance communication. E-mails / texts / voicemails allow one to say they've contacted you but do not really allow for real-time interaction. It can allow someone to say something without having to see the reaction. It can ease rejection. It can be a coward's way out of a relationship/date.

So the question is... what is acceptable "tech correspondence"? Are you more/less likely to say what you want to say via technological means?
