#920 Texting when a call is clearly necessary

The next step is for texting to replace
face-to-face communication as well.

Our lives are centered around efficiency. We like things done the way we want and we like them done quickly and flawlessly.

High efficiency means, among other things, good use of time. It means making a call and talking things over instead of waiting impatiently for a text to come through. It means using your voice instead of using your phone keyboard. There's usually no logical reason for a conversation to be 100+ texts when a five minute phone call would have accomplished the same thing. It's odd that it's considered stranger to call than it is to text. Maybe when I want to tell somebody something that it's in the same room as me, I'll write it down and slowly walk it over to them instead of just telling them.

Technology is quite the double edged sword when it comes to efficiency.

It's just slightly annoying.
