The Internet revolutionized society and the way we interact, both positively and negatively.
Calls have become obsolete, these days.
Texting is the norm.
A text can’t express emotions like a voice.
My generation adopted the Internet and eventually adapted to it.
On the other hand, it was imposed to new generations.
That implies a difference in displaying emotions: the Young are clearly more comfortable in texting, the Senior in speaking.
How do we match generations?
There are times when compromising is inevitable.
Calls are extremely stressful.
I love voice calls.
At the same time, I m aware they can be bothersome for others.
Nowadays, the ‘etiquette’ is booking calls prior text.
Don’t dare to dial without notice!
People want to be comfortable to speak, 90% of phones are now mobile devices.
Back in the day, you could only reach someone at home, no need for notice.
Problem today, is matching time between caller and receiver, virtually impossible.
I try to follow the ‘general rules’, office hours, meal times still, each person has a different schedule and often find myself in an inconvenient conversation.
How to overcome communication s barriers will be the new AI challenge.
