Phone...calls?...what are those?: Most US millennials are found to be more comfortable with texting

[Redaktion]

A study conducted by a broadband internet research group has found that millennials are more likely to develop anxiety at the thought of a voice-call compared to boomers. 50% of the former group also reported getting their parents to make doctor's appointments over the phone for them. However, this aversion abates in those aged 35 or older.

Well, the data also indicates that the "younger set" do prefer to interact directly via text/chatting. However, they are very "shakey" when interacting face-to-face and in real-time.

So, having a real conversation with a millennial via phone, conference call, or on video chat will seem rough due to them NOT feeling comfortable with real-time interaction and actually responding to facial expressions & body language.

They'd rather have a Meme tell them what a photo or video means rather than be critical for themselves.
