One of the worlds front-runners when it comes to social observation, Dilbert’s Scott Adams, has joined the groundswell tsunami of support for a change in how we communicate in the era. In particular, voice calls vs emails and SMS. Here at 2oceansvibe, we have written REAMS on it (here, here, here, here, here, here and here) and it’s nice to see the uptake is both fast and furious.
Enter Dilbert, stage left.

Scott Adams writes about things that we all know full well, but the idiots choose to ignore. For example:
While voice calling is getting worse, texting is becoming easier. More smartphones have full keyboards. And texting isn’t the huge inconvenience that phone calls are. I explained in another post that all phone calls have a victim, i.e. the person receiving the call. You’re ALWAYS in the middle of doing something else when someone calls to yack. The worst offenders are the people in cars who don’t have satellite radio, or books on tape, and they’re just calling to make their drive less boring.
Texting is way better. It can fill in all of the tiny spaces in life while you’re waiting for something else to happen and a voice call would be too large for the space. When I get a text alert, it always makes me happy, even before I read the message. When my phone rings, I think, Uh-oh, what fresh hell is this?
But that is only the beginning.
