Seriously. People make up all kinds of explanations for why no one actually uses phones but few seem to have noticed that it’s because we got to a point where a majority of our calls were shit we didn’t want.
Kinda the same thing with the mail. My letter carrier gets irritated that I don’t empty my box everyday, but he’s the one stuffing it with two pounds of trash every day. I get like two letters a week they are actually relevant and the rest is garbage or actual dangerous Identity theft risk they I have to destroy.
I moved the house landline to a Google Voice account 15 years ago. Set it to DND so all calls go to voicemail. G transcribes any actual words and emails me. spammers leave a few seconds of silence usually. I mark them as spam but they call everyday from different numbers so fuck me, no text transcribed, ignore. if a person leave a silent voicemail, must not have been that important. house phone never rings. bliss
