This material written by our reader Alexey Taranenko. Below, he told about his attitude to the phone calls, which many, including myself, can not stand. Especially if the problem can be solved without them.
Share your thoughts on the subject of the appropriateness of phones in the modern life and work. It changed if your interaction with them lately?
I - a sociopath. Despite 3000+ foloverov Twitter and 500+ friends on Facebook. I find it hard to meet new people, but most of all I hate strangers to call. And, accordingly, receive calls from them. Moreover, I almost agree with Slava Baranski, and believe evil phones, and 99% prefer to solve problems by e-mail. But just today, having received the letter, I have deliberately called back to the author and not answered by e-mail. And it's not urgent.
Written speech is devoid of emotional content, which is extremely important for the Russian language. The same text read with different emotional coloring is perceived quite differently. Therefore, when it comes to some thin and controversial moments - it is better to call. Because the phrase that you are looking for a neutral, may be perceived by the interlocutor almost like swearing at him. After all, you can not know the state of this letter will be read and which was preceded by a conversation. I have repeatedly found himself in a situation in which he was misunderstood, or on the contrary, thought that the interlocutor at me "shouts" in the mail. Although this was not a close. Moreover, in a conversation on the phone have an instant feedback, and you can hear how you react to your words at the end of the line and have the opportunity to immediately smooth out the rough edges.
That's why sometimes it's better to call than to write. While here, you should be careful and not let emotions overwhelm yourself. Since the button "take it back" in the conversation is no longer, as opposed to the Outlook or Gmail, allowing you to cancel an already sent message.
