More and more people are texting instead of talking. The time of dropping in on someone or just picking up the phone and calling seem to be fading to messages. I did not intend on this episode being on this topic, however I trust that it was for a purpose that I did.
In a time of lockdowns this episode is more important than ever I feel as people attempt to express themselves on social media and texting.
Messaging is not communication, it's information. Do you agree?
