Hello Mr. Badmington. I am an undergratuate student taking my first class on fluency. I really enjoyed your article. You used the Masker for 20 years and then stopped. You said it was the right time to make this change in your life. Do you think it was the right time because you reached a point that your were comfortable with who you were? Because of the self confidence that comes with age and maturity? Teenagers and young adults in general have so many have self confidence issues. I think for many of this group the internet has become their social life. I just wonder how we insure that someone is not using technology just to avoid a speaking situation.
