Just try to get someone on the phone, as my niece told me, "I don't like to talk on the phone, people say things like um and uh."

It's so true! Voice-on-Voice, as I like to call it feels so intimate.

Lotta said...

How funny! We really are becoming lazy indifferent persons.. This cartoon made me want to contact someone :) though I would add:e-mailing, texting, then blogging and then ignore.

It is like thank you notes for dinner parties: do I write, call, e-mail, text? I've taken so long, I think I'll just forget it!

Caroline of Salsa Pie said...

Ha! I'll never forget my babysitters ignoring me while talking on the phone at my house! Now the babysitters I hire to babysit my children probably just text the whole time while watching my little ones. Yikes! :))

Olivilla said...

Anna said...

Oh man. I kind of sorta really definitely am the same way. I gotta start good ole fashion calling again!

Patricia said...

What does this say about our society? This is really sad. I think there was a NY Times article about this too. What will the future be like??

monkeyandsquirrel said...

HA! sounds about right :)

Jordan P said...

I definitely had one of those weeks last week. Sometimes you just need some good old fashioned face time!

Emma said...

I hear you, we don't even have a home phone line anymore.

I need to take a lesson from my Grandmother and write handwritten letters to my friends and family....how cool would it be to receive one of those in my letterbox!

Julia said...

Here is the Times article:

Rarely do I find a commercial cartoon that explains me...this does. ~Mary
ps some people think that is reaching a crisis point; I think it is just people overload reality.

rebecca s. said...

very true and very sad. my husband and i blocked texts on our phones and guess what? we suddenly had no friends or family. no returned phone calls or email replies... nothing!

what ever happened to common courtesy?

Kusha said...

...And so then came Facebook and then i got busy with everyone's life! :)

dreamday said...

my husband will love this one!

layersandlayers said...

HA! Wow - this is one of the truest things I've seen in a while. I totally relate.

Dana @ The Sunday Sweet said...

hahaha!! that's awesome!

p.s. i've got a some sur la table $ to give away!

Cath said...

Yessiree.

I think I'm the oldest thirtysomething in existence. My cell phone is the free one they gave me with the plan (my friend calls it the jitterbug after the one sold in AARP magazine!), it takes me 17 minutes to text, "hello", and I still send actual mail. (I am the butt of all my friends' jokes these days, but I am proud that I know how to connect with them when they need me!)


Ah yes, The New Yorker nails it...again.

Joanna Goddard said...

cath, you sound awesome!

Kate D said...

All this communication does get to be overkill after awhile! Between work, extracurricular activities and friends/family, my Blackberry/computer get a workout!

feijaozinha said...

This is great, and very true!

abby said...

ha! Is it wrong to admit that I can ABSOLUTELY relate?!

From Me To You said...

THIS IS MY LIFE!!!!
Most recently I started telling people to @ message me if they needed a quick response because I gave up phone calls, emails and texting but now I can't even keep up with that so I just quit it all. Corresponding is a full time job!

I think the solution is to send an old fashioned letter / invite / inquiry though the mail. I will for sure see that... until I don't.

Monica said...

that is my life, I guess I should work on that! Ha!

Lady Grey said...

Oh man, too funny... and sadly a little too true!

Midcoast Menagerie said...

That reminds me of something Jerry Seinfeld said once about email: how offensive it really is because not only do we not have to see your face, but we don't want to hear your voice either!

Michelle Lee said...
