1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not?
I don’t like talking on the phone. For what its worth, phone conversations are not efficent enough. Much rather use email or instant messenger.
2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
My father. He calls over here when he doesn’t have anything to do at work.
3. About how many telephones do you have at home?
Four. I have a rotary phone which is just old enough to be cool. Who else has a working rotary phone in their house?
4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened?
“Bad phone manners?” I’m not on the phone enough to know about bad phone manners. I guess hanging up on someone is rude and insensitive. So that’s probably the extent of it. Rarely happens. Most of the time people are able to handle themselves well…or at least in a civil manner.
5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not?
Email is much more convenient. Many times simple questions could be answered without a phone call. Phone calls are inconvenient and cumbersome.
Phone calls are only good when you are far away and need the answer to something RIGHT NOW.
Otherwise I’d almost prefer email or instant messenger over a phone call.
