So Generation Mute doesn’t like phone calls. Good. Who wants to talk, anyway?
- The Guardian
This article talks about how the rise in technology has seen a decrease in some of its features such as phone calls specifically.
- Without us really noticing it, the phone call has been slowly fading out over the past few years, and a new survey by Ofcom shows that only 15% of 16 to 24-year-olds consider it the most important method of communication, compared with 36% who prefer instant messaging.
- A 2016 study showed that 49% of teenagers happily admitted that they would text or instant message someone when they were in the same room
I think that this is interesting in the sense that which the introduction to new technology. it has already taken away the interest of people having face to face conversation as having a conversation over the phone is much more easier and more simple. However, this shows that even that becomes outdated and now even interacting through phone calls have become less popular and now people prefer texting instead. Which shows how the world is changing and how social interaction is becoming less and less of real and more virtual.
