I almost never talk on the phone and actually get annoyed when I have to do it. If you aren't related to me, or if what you are trying to say to me isn't urgent, I feel like sending a message is better.
but I do agree with the sentiment above. The lack of talking has negatively affected humanity as a whole. I do make a point to have face to face encounters with people often and I will get on their case if the people try to involve their phones in our interaction.
