I'd rather talk to people, too. I'm not even young, I'm 43 years old and I grew up running into the kitchen to answer every phone call before anyone else could grab it. These days the phone is so useless that I only get to talk to people face to face. Part of the problem is the spam and part of the problem is the voice quality. If you are my age you remember when phone calls actually sounded OK and phone companies competed on call quality ("you can hear a pin drop"). Now every phone call is a battle between your ears, some horrible vocoder, and 99% packet loss. Not enjoyable at all.
