Does anyone ever pick up random phone calls? I sure don’t. Because about 99% are spam. Heck most of the texts I get are spam too. So why would I pick up the phone and talk to a spammer if I could text with them. 🤣😵‍💫😒😎

Heck half the time I don’t pick up the phone when someone I know is calling. I respond via text or call them back when I have a moment to actually chat.

I have a system with my Mom that she calls and doesn’t leave a msg. And I know to call her back.​ And that works well.

Leo Laporte, Jeff Jarvis, and Paris Martineau were talking about this on TWiG this week. Apparently the younger set are going back to phone calls???? Wow. 😜😵‍💫
