True: they have more time to think when writing/typing.
Me too.
If I'm trying to get advice about something, I'd much rather have it in writing. If I ask you during a phone call and I forget to write it down or lose the paper where I wrote it down, I might be reluctant to call you again to ask the same question. If I have it all written down, I can refer to it again and again.
If I call someone to ask questions, even if I write them all down beforehand, because the conversation may go off on a tangent, I might forget to ask all the questions I wanted. Of course, sometimes going off on a tangent reminds me of questions I didn't know I had.
My husband would prefer to do everything over the phone. He doesn't know how to text or email. Long distance calls cost us on our landline phone. Not everyone has a free long distance phone plan.

True; long distance calls are not cheap for all of us. Here they are extremely expensive. I call those who are far rarely.
~ Do you think it might be a male -vs- female thing?
~ That is be a good point, i sometimes forget about the financially challenged!
One thing that always comes into my mind immediately when someone won't talk on the phone and insist on communicating only thru e-mails or texting is scams. Last year I had a customer that the entire negotiation and transaction was by e-mails and not once any phone communications. I figured when he actually transferred the funding he was for real and shipped the baby to him without incident!
No, I don't think so. I know our son would prefer communicating by email or text. Of course, I think that is true of his entire generation.
Years ago, I took a class in types of learning. I am a visual learner. If I see something, I learn it best. My husband is an auditory learner - he learns best by hearing. I think that is one of the reasons he can't spell well. The exception for him is when we go to a restaurant and the waiter rattles off the specials - then he wants to see them written because he can't remember all of them.
If you think about it, forums are skewed to visual learners.
~ True, interesting thoughts!
Sorry you that that there.
Most phone calls here are about 1 cent including international.
Never mind. Eh?
