Phone Calls

As much as I appreciate the convenience and flexibility afforded by texting, I am grateful for what may now be considered the "good old-fashioned" phone call. It is good to hear the other person's voice. It is good to talk instead of exchanging a series of brief notes. Each method of communication does have its place, but when it comes to communicating with the people I love, phone calls are the way to go. I still get nervous when making calls to people I don't know or have some control over my placement in a job or other opportunity, but it is so much more conducive to communication to just talk instead of text.
