Talking or texting?

Do you prefer talking or text messaging? Not a hard choice…

If it is just out of those two options (nothing else), then I would probably go for talking. It is much cheaper than texting, you can fit more words into a conversation than a text message, and it doesn’t require a phone. Texting is useful, but talking is generally better in my opinion.

Somewhere in the middle is voicemail. It used to be that voicemail, or messages on your answering machine (remember those?) was a sign of social significance, but how do you feel about voicemail now? Would you rather get an email, a text message, or a voice mail? Why? Long question! I’m not too keen on voicemail, I’ve never had an answering machine at home. Leaving voicemail on phone costs to send and costs to listen to. It costs!

Email vs. text message vs. voicemail. Can I add instant messaging to that?

Out of all of them (including IM), I would choose…. email. It’s free (with the internet fees) and there are tons of features. Email rules!

Other than those listed above, there are many other forms of communication. Like people can message each other on social networking sites like Facebook, Windows Live and Twitter.
