Yet another of your points that sucks, since it wasn't their "anecdata": You're replying to two different people. > Older folks saying young people don't know how to communicate is a centuries old trope. [...] Most people can communicate just fine. So you've missed all the myriad "I hardly ever answer when my phone rings, and never initiate any phone calls myself" comments in various threads here on HN? > Many people aren't good at phone calls. You know why? Because they don't talk on the phone. Yeah, exactly. Or perhaps the other way around: They don't dare talk on the phone because they know they suck at it. So... Do you think all those "I never use my phone for actual phone calls" comments on here are made by oldsters much more than youngsters?
