> Humans are more partial to talking than writing.
Is it so?
Speaking most of the time is for short exchange of information (pleasantries to essential information exchanges).
I prefer writing for long in-depth thought exchanges (whether by emails, blogs etc.)
In many cultures - European or Asian, people are not very loquacious in everyday life.

I also hate how much Alexa sucks so this is a big deal. I spent years weeding out what it could do and can’t do so it will be nice to have one that I don’t have to treat like a toddler
- mrtranscendence 2y agoI wouldn't say speaking is mostly for short exchanges of information. Sometimes it's the opposite: my wife will text me for simple comments or requests, but for anything complicated she'll put the phone to her ear and call me. Or coworkers often want to set up a meeting rather than exchange a series of asynchronous emails -- iteration, brainstorming, Q&A, and the like can be more agile with voice than it can with text.
