Which do you spend more time talking to people, aol/aim or the phone?  Which do you like better?

I like to use Instant messaging instead of the phone. Because it is cheaper and more fun. But sometimes it is also good the hear a person's voice from time to time.

"being busy", more often than not, is just one of the lame excuses of the norm. now that technology is developing with a blink of an eye, what is one text message, right?... and if that someone really cares, he/she will move any mountain just to get it touch with you... i mean, wouldn't you?

Ok i have MSN but not my space i am on hi5 though and that is bad enough!!!\n\nMy space for me does nothing i dont want the world looking at my picture and deciding if i am "nice" or "not" this is a very sad thing especially for the younger girls i see putting pictures of themselves on there. \n\nI dont call my friends anymore because there really isnt enough hours in the day for me to speak to them so i speak with them on MSN or via email or text. i text ALOT and this for me is easier than speaking to someone but i used to have the beliefs that i should speak to people face-to-face and over the phone and having an hours conversation with a friend is better than a text! But now in the life and times we live in - a text is enough and MSN is even better.. but what can we do to change it?\n\nOn the plus side MSN is good to communicate with friends and family you have abroad use a webcam and you can talk to them cheaper then it would cost to call them!!!!

I have Trillian.\nI used to have just AIM, but then I had a freind who got a virus from AIM once so she couldn't download it and got MSN instead and another friend who got Yahoo. A thrid friend had AIM; I had AIM first and that is why I didnt' just stick with MSN or Yahoo. To be able to talk to them I got Trillian which enabled me to talk to them all. I'm glad you are downloading it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

VOIP is the best ever.  It hooks into your regular telephone so you can't tell a difference!  The only thing is when dialing you have to dial the area code (atleast for Vonage that's what I use).  When you get voicemails you can also opt to receive email notification which lets you listen to the message.  You pay no long distance to US and Canada (they have different plans too).  VOIP is definately not too new to consider.  As long as you have your high speed internet connection you have phone service and no long distance bill.

it is not true....\nbecause of Internet, our relationships are growing.\nit has always been a good tool for starting a new friendship!\n\n& yes talking is getting less, but in the hectic scheduled modern world, we prefer an email rather than a phone call or postal letters....\n\nit is just that..... we hav to adapt ourselves...

Phones are just rude.  \n\nI'ts annoying being with anyone on the phone, you only understand half of what's going on, and the person on the phone usually ignors me, and shushes me.\n\nI hate being shushed!!!

I don't IM, & yes, sometimes I feel a little "out of the loop," but I prefer good  "old-fashioned" e-mail. #1, it gives me (& my brain) time to organize & give good, thoughtful responces. #2, it gives the people that I write to the opportunity to think about what I'm saying (which is often necessary).\nI don't IM or text, but I don't care (most of the time). I have FAR more important things to worry about! It's all a matter of opinion! :-)

to the extend that people do not communicate face to face anymore.  everything is ny e-mail or the internet.  communication has improved is getting information across faster and easier but i find that i do not go see relatives as much because there is e-mail and instant messaging to do that for me.  spending time on the computer with them is the same as being in person to them for me.

i don't know a friendship like talking over the computer, or talking face to face and on the phone. big difference. if your talking about love affair yes to much distance. if your talking about a friend on the computer to talk to every now and then thats fine i have several all over the world and its kinda nice to help each other out, and stay in touch. its safe and you can open up to them so depends on which your talking about.

When I told them they did not give me any credit back at all , Everybody  was telling me that they suck but now I belive them.And then when U try 2 call them its impossible 2 talk 2 a dude on the phone, or when U talk 2 someone u can not understand them.

Well it's alot safer that's for sure, haha. But not as real. Sometimes it could be cool to do the whole phone and webcam thing, because you can watch the person, but I don't feel it's  as intense as actually having the person there. I think the phone can be cool sometimes too, because you can use your imagination. But nothing's like the real thing.

Well...it's a toothpaste.\nAnd it's also AOL Instant Messenger.\nThe only thing I don't like about AIM \nis you can't leave messages for people who \nare not online, like you can on Yahoo Messenger\nHere's a link for you.  http://www.aim.com/

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Even though I am a teenager and live for text messaging, there are just some cirumstances that are non-negotiable. It is sad enough that we live in a "point and click" world. I believe this has created a fear of networking within people. Therefore, we MUST keep the remaining forms of communication alive and APPROPRIATE. We CANNOT afford for our language to be destroyed by slang.

LMFAO!!! Yahoo's claiming to be upgrading the Chat rooms & features on Groups.  I don't miss it as I rarely went into one for the same reasons.  I've stuck to chatting on Yahoo's messenger & my AIM messenger.
