Awkward Silence

I was thinking about the the number of times we get into an awkward silence while talking to people (read friends, family and acquaintances)......

And that's one awkward silence you got into with me while reading this post !!:) Now you can stop smirking and think about the most awkward silence you encountered and share it if you please.

And guess what! I found an iPhone app called the 'Awkward Silence Breaker' which is absolutely hilarious! One can set a timer on awkward silence and depending on the 'time limit' and 'sensitivity' the app breaks the silence using sound or vibration. How innovative I must say! I guess we have given up on our communication skills already! 

Well if you don't like the above method of breaking an awkward silence you can try this one I found over the internet:
