    It’s kinda childish, especially when you need something done now that requires details and understanding with no failure.

    Edit: not to say you can’t achieve this with other forms but the idea that there aren’t millions of situations where you picking up the phone is more advantageous than a text.

    Where’s the humanity in us all

      Example and my ass just got outta bed and the coffee is still drippin’…if I have any questions, I can refer to the text instead of calling your ass…I do shit late, want a call at 2am?

        Clearly not. Business calls should happen during business hours only. BUT, it is also pretty clear that direct speech is the most efficient way of communication when you don’t need a written record, so calls definitely have a purpose.

          That is simply not true. I’ve had many phones calls that would be far more efficiently done with a text or email.
