We are at a point where smart phones are the norm in the urban world. infact, if you didn't have one, you probably balanced it off with a smart tablet.
I use a smart phone as well. But after my big excitement of having a tool that would "connect" me all the time through emails, chat, texts, Social network, games and more, I am not as thrilled. So I did ponder and I realize it's mainly cos I don't use my phone for its basic use as much, I mean calls. I have also noticed that I receive much lesser calls. Lack of the real human touch is missing.
So I made more personal calls in the recent past and it felt good. I felt more close to the individual than writing an email or leaving a note on a social media site. The reason is because the conversations would actually develop and makes it more complete. Unlike a "how are things" on an email or text. Many friends agreed we should talk more, no matter how "busy" we agree life has turned out to be!
This may all sound so old fashioned and historic, but the joy from a phone call, to me, is just awesome! So I would rather have a quick phone call, than any other method of communication.
Even for business purpose, I would rather build a relation over a call rather than send emails. If I could meet, even better! I think instead of us running away into "busyness", we should continue to make an effort to connect more personally. Well, that's my 2 cents.
Nothing compares to a voice conversation....have you noticed that?
