Pick up the phone

What happened to just picking up the telephone and having a conversation? Instead, I get DM's, PM's, text msgs, chat boxes, emails, pop-up msgs, and more. All are trying to communicate something. Yet, most of the time these communications can be handled much more effectively with just a simple phone call. 

Yes, I am old school. But still, I have bounced back and forth, struggling to communicate what a 2-minute phone conversation would efficiently suffice.

If I am busy, we have a thing called voicemail that works just fine. Yes, it's not the latest gizmo, but it handles the task well. 

Let's not throw out all the communication as mentioned earlier, but make more use of the good old phone call.
