I prefer text myself, I hate talking on the phone in part because my hearing is so bad but my desire not to be in uncontrolled social situations plays into it. The phone is a very recent phenomena here. The first system in the late thirties was orphaned due to low population and phones did not return until the mid-fifties. I think phones were just a temporary technology that did help the leap into the information age but could well be on their way out. I find the new tech fascinating but don't really want it in my life. I adopt what I have to to stay in touch with my kids.
