Text is superior than Voice (mobile phone usage)

Alright..pep talk..

I came up with this hypothesis - text is far superior than voice when it comes to meaning something. (WARNING - this does not apply to booty calls, unless it's really really late at night and you're not sober enough to make a call)

A text is usually read with your eyes, whispered with your lips, and down to the heart; while a voice travels from an ear, PROBABLY to the brain, and mostly out the other side.

Socio-scientifically, when you read, you tend to create your own tone that please yourself and you understand it at your own pace.

However, when you listen to a voice, the voice (may be accompanied by noise) doesn't really connect with you most of the time - either too monotonous or out of tone (differs with great speakers though) and usually not at your pace.


Ok, to prove this theory. Try reciting this poem to your loved one through phone:

"All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me." - (Sonnet 43)


"Huh? what you talking about?" ---> ( - . - )" ' *sigh*

Ha, fumble as presumed.. now, try sending as text. Your significant other should understand it better.

Yet again, Shakespeare is tough. But you guys probably get what I mean =) because it's "text".
