I am going to put down some rules for productive (read: pleasurable and profitable) conversation. These are rules I have learned either through (hard) experience or reading. The way I see it, as the technology of communication has increased, the skill of communication has diminished severely. Ironically, It is easier to have conversations with people now than ever before, yet somehow more difficult to have a good conversation. This article is my small attempt to correct this, however futile the effort may be.
