You can feel real feelings through a call.

I've seen someone stand right next to me and text someone R-F-O-L.

And let me tell you, they were not rolling on the floor laughing.

I'm not going to say texting is dishonest, but it does make it easy to lie.

There's a famous story about the first phone call.

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was inventing the phone.

So far, he'd only managed to send snippets of speech.

But then, he spilled some acid on his hand in the lab.

He used the phone without realizing it to call his assistant.

And it worked.

Is there even a story of the first text message?

That's rhetorical.

I don't care because it's definitely not as good.

Phone calls are memorable, like a cousin telling you about a new baby joining the family, or a friend comforting you after a breakup.

And no wonder.

Humans have been talking and listening to each other's voices for over 100,000 years.

Way longer than writing.

We evolved to talk and listen.

I'd argue it's one of the greatest pleasures of being a human.

So the call is coming.
