I call BS. The authors predictions are based upon the assertion that people would rather make a phone call than use a website. I acknowledge that maybe I am in a bubble and don't understand the average user but, really?? It seems pretty commonplace for people in my generation (xennial) and those after mine to go out of their way to _avoid_ the phone. I will _always_ use an online communication method if I can.
If the argument was that some new tech was coming to blow websites out of the water I could at least try to give it the benefit of the doubt. That's not the premise here and, much like email, many have tried to replace websites. All fail.
- rossdavidh 9y agoI am 50 years old, and I also will only resort to phone call as a last resort, when just going to a different website instead is not an option, so I think your point applies not only to youngsters.
- vikingcaffiene 9y agoI was thinking that maybe the author was coming from a place that was out of touch because of coming from a different time but I didn't mean to generalize an entire age group with that. I apologize if that's the way it came off. The bigger point here is that phone calls suck and we all agree. :-)
