There seems to be some odd resentment to your point- the person implying that "makers" don't like taking calls, really? FWIW, I like the phone, it often let's things get resolved faster and avoid misunderstanding and promotes diplomacy.
- ddoolin 5y agoI get where they're coming from though. To me it's more of a personality trait than generational, and our industries do lend themselves to often extreme introversion. I agree with you, it's way faster to get through conversations on the phone. People forget that social norms also apply to texting and that can make them drawn out, before even thinking about how some people only respond in very wide intervals.
- shawnz 5y agoOf course it's more convenient for the caller. But what about the receiver of the call? They might be in the middle of other tasks, and perhaps they want to have some time to plan their side of the conversation, as the caller did. I don't think the argument is that voice communication is not useful. The only issue is unsolicited calls.
- InvertedRhodium 5y agoIf you're not interested in taking, then don't answer?
- shawnz 5y agoI already don't answer unsolicited calls. I am just explaining my rationale why that's the case.
