Right or wrong, in our digitally driven world, communication has changed. Nowadays, it seems that more people use their phone to text than to make calls. And it makes sense, it’s a medium that allows us to read, ponder and reply on our own time—unlike a phone call where the person on the other end of the line is waiting for an immediate response.
