People have been so insistent on using Text messages they lose the human touch with a phone call. Some things are irritating because when you call someone they text you back. Why don't people ever call you back? Just these things I wonder. I completely agree with you on the value of a phone call.

But I think I agree 80%. Some people don't text, which makes my preference for text more difficult. So I also prefer email. But I think you made an excellent point and you've definitely, on many occasions, burst bubbles for people who are soooo "socialmediathis, blah blah, socialmediathat" -- sometimes the most simple things are right in front of us.

I wrote that whole one sided conversation at 12:30 am while my angel (who's name isn't Jeffrey) is sleeping. There were no interruptions, I said what I wanted to say at the moment, got to finish a complete sentence or two, and, best of all, no whiskey drinking was harmed in the making of this comment. Thank you for your contributions to my social life :) P.S. I wrote that whole one sided conversation at 12:30 am while my angel (who’s name isn’t Jeffrey) is sleeping.

It's a party on Jeremy's blog! w00t! I had to come and sample the dip. How ya doin? Kiss. Kiss. Oh! Thanks! Is this a twist off or do I need a bottle opener? I have a love/hate relationship with the phone. When I was a kid my mother was always on the effing phone. She still is. She has conversations with other people while I'm on the phone with her to the point that I can't tell who the hell she's talking to. She just walks around with the phone on her head doing everything else saying, uh huh, yeah, Oh My God, tisk, tisk, uh huh, yeah. "Mom, you're an asshole." Yeah, uh huh, wow, yeah, uh huh. "Mom, you're not listening to a word I'm saying!!" "Yes I am, you said I'm not listening to a word you're saying." I don't want to be like my mom. I also vowed to myself that I would not be one of those mothers who talks on the phone and yells at her kid every other sentence I said Jeffrey get off that couch do you hear me! I said get DOWN NOW!! Oh my god, I'm so sorry. So, you were saying, the stock market sucks I know JEFFREY GET DOWN AND stop flushing the toilette. I know you need to count how many swirls but for the love of god! I'm sorry, yes, you need to get a blood transfusion. No, I don't think we have the same blood type JEFFREY WILL YOU STOP with the toilette paper, it wasn't that big of a turd! I'm sorry, can I call you back? When he's in kindergarten? Look!!!

That is why I agree and what I think detractors are missing is you’re communicating with someone – as it relates to building a relationship. Voice adds so much more dynamic to communication: tone, inflection, subtlety, clarity etc. Great post…facebook and twitter (email, etc.) leave out key elements of communicating with humans.
