This is really true. When I was young, people didn't call unless it was important, or they wanted to visit. Sometimes they just wanted to chat, but that was usually about your visits. Now people text, and sometimes email. There are the occasional emergency that warrants a call, but they are rare. Nowadays if the phone rings at all unexpectedly, it's nearly always a spammer or scammer at the other end. Voice calls that aren't from your boss are generally going that way now, too. That's why pagers were so popular back in the day. Great paradigm that lives on through SMS. Send a text. I don't even have my ringer on, unless I'm actually expecting a call.
