Text and Voice Messages

The topic of voice and text messages is widely discussed nowadays. There are people who support voice messages over text ones. And then there are other people who think that voice messaging is impolite or even rude. Obviously, both text and voice messages have differences, they have their own advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, voice messages seem more convenient to send. You don't have to spend time typing, you just have to press one or two buttons. Besides, sending voice messages may save someone's life. A lot of drivers, even though it's against the law, type messages while driving. Now that they can send voice messages, they don't need to look at the screen, so it makes the situation on the roads safer.

On the contrary, voice massages may not be as convenient to the receiver. You may not have your headphones near you. The voice message may say something personal and private, and you wouldn't want people around you to hear it. In addition, when we type, we tend to avoid pointless information. Why would anyone type in 100 symbols, if they can type one little sentence? In contrast, when people record voice messages, they can say whatever comes to their mind. Usually it's very inconvenient to listen to these messages, it may be even irirtating.

However, there is one advantage of voice messages, that texts will never really have -  they convey emotions. Even though we may use emojis in our text messages, they barely have the same effect as the intonations of our voice.

As for me, I think you should ask your partner whether it's convenient for him before sending a voice message. If the answer is no, stick to good old texting. We should be polite and respect others' preferences.
