What is the best way to proceed if someone has just made a point, and you want to talk about something else? acknowledge the speaker’s point, and try to connect to the topic,
ignore what the speaker said and focus only on my point,
explain why the speaker did not hold my interest,
demonstrate that what I have to say is more important

When speaking with other people it is polite to aknowledge what someone says even if you want to change the topic. Therefore, in order to change the topic you should acknowledge what the person said first. This shows that you were listening. You can then connect your new topic into what they were saying. It would be rude to simply ignore what the other speaker says or to tell them that what they said is not important or did not hold your interest.
