Nowadays it
is prevalent to message someone instead of calling. The tendency to communicate
through the screens of our telephones, laptops, etc. has been increasing even
among the youngest of the population. The way I see it that is not authentic
communication and this is why I prefer calling and face-to-face conversations
to emails and voicemails.
The
paramount reason to why I prefer communicating by talking to texting is because,
to my mind, that is not genuine communication. To me, it does not feel like the
real thing, aka talking, if I text someone and while for the shy person I am,
seems better to text, I still prefer talking to others.
Amongst the
reasons why people may prefer texting is because they feel uncomfortable or
want to avoid any awkward situations.
However, if you feel uncomfortable talking
to someone you would feel the same way even while you are texting. Furthermore,
awkward situations are inevitable. It is simply not possible to avoid them
because the awkward pauses are not the only problem. In general, the sole thing
that could feasibly bring them about is we. Even though we have time to form
the correct way to write something that does not stop us from sending it to the
wrong person. Thus, forming an uncomfortable situation just as you would have
if you have said something inappropriate. While you can explain yourself in
both situations, the massage will stay and the inappropriate thing you said
will be forgotten. So, which one is better?
Let us not
forget that when you email or voicemail a person he might decide to ignore you
or to forget to answer. In the end you will feel bad. On the other hand, if you
walk to them in person, they will be polite and respond to you and there is no
way to forget to do so.
To sum up,
I believe that it is better to communicate by telephone and face-to-face than
by emails or voicemails because I think that this is not an actual way of
communication. Besides, if you feel uncomfortable talking to people you would
feel somewhat the same way while texting and it is better at least to authentically
talk with the others.
