Absolutely not ! Face to face conversation when you can look at each other is meaningful. BS is a lot easier in text. Can be convenient at times, but no substitute for conversation.

If I’m talking to one person I am just going to call them so we can have a two mins conversation. If it is many ppl group message

It’s like comparing Coca Cola and Pepsi ... both colas but one is more superior
Talking and texting are both conversations but one is superior

My best friend and I text exclusively, I can’t remember the last time we actually talked on the phone. Many years.

Texting is nowhere close to actual human interaction. It often fails to deliver on intent which leaves people guessing, it is incapable of delivering voice inflection, facial expressions, and true human warmth that comes with a phone call or better yet, face to face human interactions, and is a poor substitute in general for developing or maintaining relationships. Furthermore, the more we rely upon texting, the more we struggle in real human interactions, and the communication skills that actually do build and maintain relationships.
I think it’s become a lazy man’s approach, and except for a quick text here and there to let people know where you are, or you’re on your way, or picking up stuff at the grocery or whatever, it is in no means meant to be a replacement for face to face, or even hearing someone’s voice on the other end of a phone.
If distance prevents me from being there, I’d much prefer FaceTime than anything else in communicating with people.

I have Social Anxiety Disorder, thus an irrational phobia about talking on the telephone. Texting would have been life changing when I was growing up. Until texting became really mainstream with iphones and the like (and not just a kid thing), I never kept my flip phone on. I had it in my car in case I broke down on side of the road, or took it with me in my boat for the same reason. Keeping it on otherwise would mean I’d have to answer it.
So yeah, texting is far superior to talking.
