communication preference Quotes

I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email.

There was the usual dreaminess, I suppose. Also a shyness that caused me - and others - to notice that I could express myself better by writing than by speaking.

What I'm seeing is a generation that says consistently, 'I would rather text than make a telephone call.' Why? It's less risky. I can just get the information out there. I don't have to get all involved; it's more efficient. I would rather text than see somebody face to face.

Teenagers would rather text than talk. They feel calls would reveal too much.

Kids have moved from, "I have a feeling, I want to make a call," to "I'd like to have a feeling, I need to send a text." In other words, there's a continual need for validation.

Twitter? No, I'd rather use phone and texts.
