Modern Communication

While listening to the radio, a reporter(?) said some things about people's current tendency to rely more and more on texting rather than talking face-to-face when communicating.

It was something along these lines; if you rely more on text communication, and less on face to face talking, then you lose the ability to read facial cues/ subtle information.
All in all, you become less intuitive and more logistical, like a robot.

Isn't it interesting? Those words broadcasted by the radio really hit me hard.
I was thinking about the possible reasons myself, and settled on some conclusions.

People mostly want to do things perfectly, as in the way they hope it would be - in this case, speaking. In real situations, however, people often find it hard not to get disturbed by many variables when they have a conversation with someone. For example, you can choke up from emotions, forget the words you should say, etc.

On the other hand, when we say something through texts, it is easy for us to be more articulate, make less mistakes; we can simply erase and rewrite, edit the dispositions, or even research the information in regard to the conversation you're having.

I guess these are what make people prefer texting to phone calls or face-to-face talking.
