Are we heading for a world where no one ever needs talk to another human being? (theguardian.com)

I notice that phone calls are less frequent, and that people are writing emails and messages in chat instead of talking. So I guess, yeah, we might be lonely and chatting with robots. And maybe we'll even start to forget how to talk...


It’s especially difficult with my teenagers to get them to answer their phone. They prefer to text.


Here in Argentina, audios are very popular in WhatsApp. Does it count as talking to a human being?
