Some of us are on a desktop computer, all of us are on a mobile phone. You do realize how cumbersome that mobile keyboard is right. With a click of a button, you can record audio and/or video. But still, text messages rule them all. Who sends texts on desktops anyway? A small minority.

No. A lot of people record voice messages, but they need to be in an environment providing enough privacy. But messengers emphasize text heavily in their UIs - again because of keyboards. Keyboard less touch devices are too novel an innovation compared to when instant messaging was cast into its final form.

    Just an argument against audio and video. With a stylus instead of a keyboard you can still scribble amd draw naturally. That was my original example.
