When I went to college I felt estranged
from my parents.
The
only way we could communicate was with a landline, which I had to stand in line
to use. Now I can shoot texts back and forth with my son, with links to
interesting news bits,
YouTube videos or music, and pictures of the cats doing dumb things while
looking cute.
I get
that you want to do things your own way, perhaps what you consider the
"right" way. I completely understand. But there are some anachronisms
in the 21st century that are just plain annoying, even
to a dinosaur like me. Making them will affect your relationships, dating and work life, and prevent effective
communication.
Pretty
please heed my advice and avoid these nine 21st century faux
pas:
1. Don't Leave Voicemail Messages
If you
don't know this by now, here's the thing: No one under 35 listens to them. And
if you do get a call back, don't expect the person to know what your message
said because, and I hate to be redundant, no one listens to voicemail.
