Invasion of personal space: why people are increasingly avoiding phone calls and preferring instant messengers
The popularity of instant messengers is difficult to estimate, and recently they have increasingly replaced telephone conversations.
The new generation does not consider phone conversations to be obligatory at all, since they grew up using instant messengers.
We figure out why phone calls have sunk into oblivion and whether this is such a bad thing.
Many people react to calls very differently than to a message on social networks. An unplanned call is considered an invasion of personal space in the modern world.
Despite the fact that writing a message in a messenger or social network takes more time than talking, many people prefer the first option.
One of the reasons is that you can't use the "delete" or "edit" button in a conversation, and you have to put up with the well-known saying that a word is not a sparrow.
That's why many people prefer to think carefully about a message rather than think on the fly during a telephone conversation.
