My friend said voice notes are “very Zoomer,” but I don’t care, I love them. I rarely do phone calls, but I will gab and gab on voice notes. Probably says something about the narcissism of preferring monologue vs. dialogue, but never mind that. Anyway, here are the rankings of communication:

1. IRL conversation

2. Voice notes

3. Phone calls

4. Emails

5. Whatsapp/Signal/Telegram/etc.

6. Texts

7. Letters

8. Instagram DMs

9. Substack DMs

10. Twitter DMs

11. Reddit DMs

12. Dating app messages

13. Facebook messages

14. Video calls
