    So asynchronous communication can be more efficient for certain types of communication, but in other scenarios synchronous communication will be more efficient. Learning to identify which type of communication fits which type of mode is a valuable skill to have, one I recommend that everyone develops.

      I get what you mean. Overall, if it’s not urgent I’d rather not make/receive calls.

      you make it sound so mystified…literally the difference between real time and time delayed methods of audio/visual.

      Discord does both.

      if i may, what i think, Think, you might be missing. It’s not just one phone call, we can and are reachable by everyone at every minute of the day via social apps and hand held phones in general…couple this knowing Each of us has a different social battery. talking drains that cell. etiquette, being polite and conscious in the moment is mentally taxing.

      Texting allows us all to go at our own speed. not the speed of the other listener/talker. Lastly, like others have pointed out. this is not the 80s anymore, we live in a globalized world with real time events happening all the time, we are constantly engaged in the new drama or horror so after we just got full dose of nsfw content we probably are not in the best mindset to be having a conversation over voice.

      real time comms are for Race, Military and COD teenagers so they can inform us how much sex they are having with our mothers. we know this. humans aren’t total dongers. yet
