I seldom use my phone to make calls anymore. It's all email, im, and skype on the weekends. I also find the phone incredibly interruptive and used to ask people to send their calls to voicemail while we tried to get work done. Due to all the calls we were getting we would be putting in 12 hour days to finish 6 hours worth of work. Their is nothing worse than getting into the flow only to have to answer the phone.

Of course, never answering my phone causes some problems for some people (my wife in particular) but hopefully they will forgive and send an email.

JG-thanks for stopping by and commenting. Glad to know there are some others out there that have noticed changes in communication pattern/behavior.

THANK YOU!

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.
