Do people stilll talk on phones?
Serious question. I think I do about 99% of my communication via text or other messaging
- tambourine_man 8y agoI guess it depends on the demographics. But one thing that annoys me is that people don’t usually realize how much faster and clearer voice conversation can be. After 4 or 5 rapid text exchanges I usually send “can I call you?”
- stryk 8y agoI see this question asked a lot on almost all tech-centric places on the 'net. I think it's a decent example of the "thought bubble" that happens in tech circles both online and off. Where is it that these people asking the question actually _go_ - in real life - that they don't see many people talking via voice on their phones? I ask because almost everywhere I go or practically have ever gone since cell phones became ubiquitous, up to and including this very morning, I come across multiple instances of people talking on their phones.
- __sr__ 8y agoDefinitely. Text is good for “lazy” communication — so is email. By lazy, I mean, I sent you a text and you can respond whenever you like. But if the communication is real time - i.e. the sender expects a quick response and vice versa, voice call is usually better. In fact, unless I know the person very well, I usually send a text asking if it is a good time to talk.
