I don’t know if I should have born in the ’70s or ’80s instead of the 90s, but my generation definitely does not like to pick up the phone and make a simple phone call. I still enjoy making an actual phone call and hearing someone else’s voice. Sometimes when conflicts occur, people text and the receiver takes the message in the wrong context. It’s easier to talk voice to voice, at least in that situation.
A lot of people in this generation say they don’t like confrontation. People hide behind text messages instead of having a real conversation, if not in person at least over the phone. I strongly think that people in this generation should make a point to make phone calls to one another. In text messages, a real connection can be completely lost.
