Discuss Cellphone usage of Millenials

I would argue that millennials know when to use texting as opposed to calling vice versa better than older generations. Especially when I need a quick answer about something that's time sensitive. I find that my parents will be like hold on let me shoot them a text and it bugs the hell out of me.

Probably true - but they also don't know when to stop using the phone and pay attention to something else, like a movie, a conversation with other, present, live "human beings" or their driving.
So, there's that...

People are stupid, regardless of when they were born.

Texting is superior to talking for communicating messages.
Less so for conveying tone and emotion.

Yeah Im always on my phone but at dinner or when I'm with someone at a social event I hate when people just sit on there phone.

Texting makes it too easy to have non meaningful conversations 24/7. I don't get people that are constantly texting at all points of their life. You are not that important and neither is your conversation.

Millennials are why the cell companies are gouging us for data instead of minutes nowadays.
Remember when you paid $40 for 1000 minutes, and got rollover, and paid $10 for unlimited data?
Now every plan is basically unlimited talk and text, and 10 GB of data is $100/month.

texting is our version of countless emails, which the baby boomers and whatever the frick the next generation was called are still obsessed with.
texting has now infiltrated the work place and I love it. emails get so fricking old yet it seems the 40+ crowd is still emailsessed.
besides, its the older gen of management that expects us to be available after hours thus the need for constant phone activity.

This is the reason my mom, grandmother, and aunt only know my junk email address that I never use.

Which can't be easily referenced, archived or checked. Texting certainly has its place, but has not made the transition as an effective business tool for content, IMHO.

Generation X - and be nice to your elders. It's not my fault that Gen X is just demonstrably better than either the Baby Boom or Millenials (Generation Cry -

Preaching to the choir - my job in the military consists of routing and managing emails, essentially.

That's it - EXACTLY - all you millenials are such workaholics - you're on your phone all the time getting $hit done - not FB/TWT/Pinterest/Reddit/Tinder/Casual Gaming - your lives away - no, sir, work, work, work.

No, millenials are stupid with this shite. Texting me to say "I'm sorry I'm running late" is stupid. Just be where you said you'd be.
Texting me to ask which apt I live in or how to get in the gate when you are at the gate is stupid. Just call me and ask, I'm more likely to respond quicker.
Millenials are impersonal, selfish, creatures that overvalue their own time while wasting vast amounts of other people's time.
I sometimes hate that I'm a part of this generation.

Email is still the supreme communication
Posted on 11/12/14 at 10:05 am to YumYum Sauce
I disagree
Email is still a more valuable tool in the work place. Emails are more professional, you can include attachments, signatures, archive, print hard copies for people like my boss who still only know how to fax, and other things.
and most people are in front of there computers for the majority of the day opposed to being on the phone which can look unprofessional

I was born in 84, am I on the cusp of X and millennials?
BTW- I blame the attitude of true millennials on remote control parenting and the over promises of the worth of getting a degree.
