Text messaging, Twitter, Facebook, e-mail…all things I use and use often. I think they are all great and have their own unique strengths and reasons to use them. But lately I’ve been trying to use an old reliable form of communication, my phone. Sometimes with all the cool things my iPhone can do I forget that I can actually make calls with it. But then I need to talk to my mom or dad or grandparents and I remember they don’t twitter and aren’t on facebook. I have to call them on the phone and you know what I really enjoy it.

I’ve made an effort lately to use the phone more often and it’s not always easy (probably because the other methods are SO easy.) But a phone call, or even better actually getting together with people, is so much more personal and more reliable. So take a few minutes to call someone on the phone today.
