The current cell phone infrastructure and the phones themselves really suck for talking to people. This is why, I think, kids don't talk over the phone. Not because they really prefer texting over voice but that live voice sucks. The smart phone is a bad shape for catching and producing sounds and the cell phone network has high and variable lag, dropped calls, many "Can you hear me now" moments, the "I can hear you clearly and think all is well but you can't hear me" problem, etc. So people don't do most of there communications with voice and eventually you see people texting each other in the same room. It really is a problem that has not gotten enough attention. I recently brought back my landline so a least 1/2 the communication is on a good system for talking when I actually want to have a conversation with someone over the phone. Its great but why does it cost $30 a month for just unlimited local calls? Only someone with quite a bit of extra resources would have one. Business have landlines and/or low latency internet to handle quality voice communication. Most families these days don't.
