What's Up With This, "Only Wanting To Text Loved Ones or Friends?

It is just such an inhumane way to have a relationship, especially with loved ones !
One day, you will wish to be able to hear the voice of a loved one

Philosophically speaking (Kant)

Kant’s Categorical Imperative
The first (Universal Law formulation): "Act only on that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law."

 The second (Humanity or End in Itself formulation): "Act in such a way that you always treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never simply as a means, but always at the same time as an end."

Permitting technology to interfere with genuine conversation among humans and especially loved ones is lacking human empathy and, especially again, when one prefers to text than to talk; and often become annoyed when they have to talk with someone on the phone
