i know what you mean as i am just like that but have found that i need to talk more so i can get more info out of ppl so i know what i am actually suppose to do on a project

Greetings.
Another person just like you here.
I prefer to talk to the people I meet on the Internet.
I'm not ignorant but just am too shy or it's just that I don't know what to say to people when I actually come face to face with them.

If all computer programmers sat in boxes and didn't talk then we'd have the wonderful situation where they wouldn't know what the general public wanted from their programs... Which seems to be fairly common at the moment lol.

I think Communication is essential for a programmer.

Definitely. Programming is basically an engineering discipline, but a programmer is closer to an interpreter or translator than any other kind of engineer. Sure, you can get the job done sitting in a cube and coding, your only companions a stale beer and a cold slice of last night's pizza (and many do), but there's no substitute for proper communication. This goes for any business, really.
