Why are zoomers so afraid of this technology?

Before 2022 it was bad enough that more than half of calls are just scammers. Now, picking up a call your voice could be used to train a model to impersonate you. It happened to someone I knew where the scammer put on his voice and called his grandfather extorting him. When I don't know the number I already never answered my cell before and I sure don't now.

I just don't have a reason to answer the phone, you're not entitled to my time just because you call lmao.

Because spam calls.

if it was important they'd leave a message.
>>
>>109580831
Not a zoomer but I don't pick up calls unless I know who is calling or I'm expecting a call. Everyone else can send me an email and I'll deal with it whenever I have time.
You also have to realize that people are not going to drop everything they're currently doing to pick up the phone.

I mostly blame scammers and spam calls desu. Yeah no I'm not picking up the phone from someone in Poland, England or Austria when I don't even live there and don't expect a call from there.

If they suppress the number then I'm also not picking up.

a voice call interrupts and wastes much more time compared to a text message.

You don't need to call for 90% of shit, hell, today a fucking coworker literally sent me "Hey, are you there?", called me, and to just fucking ask me if the application was accesible from our internal servers, I could have answered him in 10 seconds if he just sent me the damn question from the beginning.

because boomers love to spam your phone like 8 times over with calls only for you to finally pick up and what they had to tell you couldve just been put in a one sentence text message instead

Google can screen your calls and will summarize a response for you. It asks who you are and why you're calling. It can't hold a whole conversation, but it's a start.

NTA but you don't have to drop everything you're doing, have an entire conversation all at once just for one reason before you can carry on with everything else you were doing.
Literally only friends and family have any right making phone calls when such an alternative exists. You're literally detaining somebody if you make them call you to resolve an important matter and you're an asshole for refusing to use technologies that prevent that.

Most contractors prefer communication by text for this exact reason. Because they can keep working on one job, and then advance a conversation about another pending job whenever they stop for a breather.
Voice calling for anything other than friends and family is retarded boomer luddite garbage. Only boomers and their shitskin pajeet pets walk around talking on their phone for business related matters anymore.

>>
>>109591706
your reading comprehension is off the charts, anon.
washing the dishes is compatible with voice calls.
otherwise, when I'm receiving a text message, I can get to it in a free moment instead of immediately, so it isn't distracting, and typing a response is faster than speech.

Half the time it sounds like the person on the other end is talking through a tin can and I can barely understand anything.

I can take the time to pause and think of an appropriate reply without being pressured into giving a quick worthless response.

Can't do that if it's a phone call.

Can't do that if it's a phone call.

I can focus on whatever it is I'm doing while also writing a reply at my own pace.

I've never liked phone calls. When my phone rings it's only to tell me something is wrong, I need to do something, problems.

I've never gotten phone calls from friends or women that were like "hey how are you doing wanna hang out?" It's always "hey do you think you can..."

My phone is only used to summon me to society that's never included me. It's always been that way for the 25 years I've had my own phone

My phone ringtone is the shin megami tensei "Confrontation" theme for a reason. Literally encountering demons and my phone is asking for my response to them.

Yeah, but I'm expecting that. My phone maybe rings 2 times a week and the 2 times it's scammers. But usually it means something is going wrong and I need to do it.

>>109601113
google (the makers of android) have a fix for this. I am a Google user. And when a number that isn't in my contacts calls my phone, the AI answers and asks why the person is calling and then who they are. If the AI thinks it is legit, it will ring my phone. Else, the call doesn't make it to me. It is comfy. I think it will come to other droids soon and I think Apple also invented this tech recently.

Bros I fucking hate Android so much. The last update prevents me from hanging up a call so I have to reboot my phone every time I want to hang up. How do you fuck this up so badly?

seething zoomfaggots, go order no-contact doordash because you're terrified of having to interact with another person
>>
>>109601139
>you talk over each other because you never know when the other guy is done talking
holy fucking autism
>concise text message you can read in 10 seconds
Yeah you don't have anyone that actually wants to talk to you

>>109601527
>interact with another person

Cause starting in first grade my boomer teachers would call my boomer parents over the slightest thing which then would turn into a beating for me which has trained my limbic-system to prepare for violence every time a phone rings.
>>
>>109580831
I'm a boomer and I can communicate verbally really well but it still gives me anxiety so I hate doing it
>>
>>109601127
>Just don't pick up on numbers you don't know
Yeah, but you shouldn't even let them know the number is active by blocking them. What I had to do with repeated offenders was add them to my contacts and assign a silent ringtone to them with no vibrations. If it's a new offender, mute the ringtone as it goes off, which is the sound minus button on my S23.

Zoomers are extremely socially awkward, most of them have social anxiety and would prefer to just get texts that they can plan a response to on their own time.

Zoomers don't call. They text. Why get on the phone when the written word will do? If the other person doesn't answer, you keep spamming his or her inbox.

>its called DND and Do not accept calls from unregistered numbers
I just patched my dialer. My phone doesn't make noises for anyone but my daughter.
Now if you ring me there's another option.
I can pick 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 180 min.
I hit the button, it'll ring you back.
When you answer it'll emit tone.
You hang up, it'll ring you back...

You can move from the list: Victim to the list Avoid.

>turn on Siri call screening
>suddenly number of phone calls drops to 0

nobody who has actual business ever calls you. The only phone numbers I even allow to audibly ring my phone are my wife and my cardiologist's office.

>>109582029
Truth nvke.
You can save so much time with a quick phone call.
Like if you need to buy something but don't know what places have it in stock, are you going to waste hours driving all over town, or sending emails that may take days to get a reply?
