My grandparents prefer a land line over a cell phone. I guess they’re just used to a land line.

There are certain things that don’t translate via text messaging: your voice, your tone, your sincerity and your personality. These human aspects are crucial to certain types of people, as you probably have encountered. Certain colleagues just respond better when you talk to them rather than just sending an email or text.

I predict video telephoning will take over. Maybe in another 4 years, every cell phone will be able to display the person you’re talking to as if that person were there in person.

I don’t think texting will completely replace the voice capability. I just think this “feature” of a phone is going to be much more of an afterthought than it is today.

I don’t see texting replacing phones. Talking to a person has a different effect than texting.

land line -> fax.
cell -> text. but I don’t see text ever replacing voice completely. sometimes it’s just more efficient to just talk. it all depends on what you’re trying to communicate.

I need to have a land line for my business (credit card swiper).
