Yes, as a teenager, I spent ridiculous amounts of time on the phone. I adored getting calls when I was not with my friends. But, now, long after the advent of the www and proliferation of pc's into the American way of life, I actually find the phone to be pretty obnoxious. I have taken to refusing to even answer the thing more often than not. When I do, I expect conversations to be more or less brief and very to-the-point.
On the other hand, and this may just prove that I'm too wierd for my own good, I also find it distressing that voice chat seems to be difficult to initiate with my family-friend circle. I want more of that as I do not find it the least bit disturbing to talk to my comp's mic while using StumbleUpon or reading news.
