Over and over I hear, "I would rather text than talk." And what I'm seeing is that people get so used to being short-changed out of real conversation, so used to getting by with less, that they've become almost willing to dispense with people altogether.
Con frecuencia oigo decir: "Prefiero mandar mensajes que hablar." Y veo que la gente está tan acostumbrada a ser defraudada en las conversaciones reales, tan acostumbrada a pasarla con poco, que llegan casi a estar dispuestos a prescindir de toda la gente.
