In another study , people who listened to someone express a political viewpoint that they disagreed with were less likely to dehumanize that person than people who simply read the transcript of their argument. This suggests that talking to people from different political parties rather than texting or responding to them on Facebook might help bridge divides. One reason for this is that our voices convey a myriad of emotions , which helps us understand one another better and feel more empathic.
Although it might seem trivial, the way we choose to communicate matters. Texting can be useful if you need to just pass on a quick message or set up a time to talk with someone, he adds. Participants didn't expect that the media through which they communicated would matter, and in this case they also predicted that they would feel just as connected to the stranger via text as by phone.
But the researchers found when they really interacted, people felt significantly more connected when they communicated by talking than by typing. And, again, they found it wasn't more awkward to hear each other's voices. In fact, the voice itself -- even without visual cues -- seemed to be integral to bonding, the researchers found.
Confronting another myth about voice-based media, researchers timed participants reconnecting with their old friend. They found the call took about the same amount of time as reading and responding to email. The researchers said the results both reveal and challenge people's assumptions about communication media at a time when managing relationships via technology is especially important, Kumar said.

A phone call shows that someone is dedicating time and one's undivided attention to a conversation. There is a definitive end to the conversation. If you're talking on the phone, there is a hello, there is a conversation, and there is a goodbye.
Being woken up by that "ping" is the work of the devil and one of the worst feelings in the world, I'm calling it no pun intended. It's a safety issue. Yes, we know it must be so exhausting holding your 7oz phone up to your ear, but you know what's more exhausting? Holding up a bag of ice to your eye because you're one of the countless people who've dropped their cell on their face while lying down and texting. It's a sad reality for our generation, but a reality nonetheless.
Texting long thoughts and conversations is exhausting and your friends hate you for it. No one wants to read an essay on their phone. They aren't even reading actual interesting articles on the Internet that long, so what makes you think they're psyched when they get your pages-long text? It's added effort for both parties, so why not just pick up the phone and spend two minutes explaining yourself? You'd probably finish telling your story before you finished typing it, anyway.
Phone calls require your full attention. When you're in a phone conversation, you have to be in that phone conversation otherwise you're going to seem like a total jerk if the person you're talking to asks a question after you haven't been listening for the past 5 minutes. Texting lets people off the hook to do as they please, answer when they want if at all , and fein undivided attention. It's honestly just nice to hear someone's voice. Wouldn't you prefer to hear your friend actually laughing rather than read "Hahahaha" and wonder if it's really happening on the other end?
Text messages can be much too calculated.
