So many misunderstandings chatting back and forth and fuck typing on a touchscreen in general. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago You definitely miss a lot when you can't hear tone. It is hard to detect emotions when texting and this can definitely cause misunderstandings. I am old school so to speak because I was around during the time of pagers before cell phones. Texting through pagers was the old technology and making a voice call through a cell was the new technology. Obviously texting has it uses, but it will always feel a step backwards from voice calls for me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 month ago When they are concise and with purpose , phone calls are great. But I have so little patience to draw it out into an hour-long affair. And even less for video calls, because then I can’t even be tidying up or doing anything while it happens permalink fedilink source parent
