We will concede
telephone calls can be annoying.
But doesn't typing without surcease have its own drawbacks? I don't own a cell phone and I don't chat; I wouldn't know. But I would just as soon not chat with people I barely know as talk to them. In the end we seem to be spending more time in idle banter, whatever the medium.
This sounds like one of those false-trend non-stories Prof. Shafer's always knocking -- and it comes from
The Paper of Re-CORD, the chief source of such non-stories.
