Most people I know prefer texting to talking on the phone. It's easier to multitask or defer your response. Video communication is even more invasive than audio. I seriously doubt that communicating with your peers by text is now considered archaic will hold true (at least compared to video).
- tomjen3 16y agoI certainly hope not, for exactly the reasons you post. But I know the world doesn't give a hoot about what I want and that ignoring the future is very, very dangerous.
- daralthus 16y agoI prefer too and that could be because I don't want to bother the other one, when I only have a short message I just want them to get notified about. I don't want an immidiate answer or hear their feelings etc.. I just need an answer in the near future. And because text gives me the possibility to get my thoughts ready into consumable form too, there's no question why we use it more often. But these things point to the differences of real-time/delayed messages, like email or chat and both have their places.
- Stormbringer 16y agoIt grieves me when someone texts me and says "do you want to do lunch?" and I text them back saying "sure, where and when?"... and then I end up having to pick the time and place, and usually the first three or so suggestions get knocked back. I mean, if it was a woman, I would understand, but when a bloke does that to me I'm always thinking to myself "Dude, take off the lipstick and put on some trousers for goodness sake". Texting should be a more efficient means of communication, but alas, is still imperfect. :D
