Cell Phone priorities

Comment on facebook on prevalence of texting and lack of "real" phone calls in modern society:

 " Actually, I think it is corporate manipulation. "Texts" are WAY less expensive to facilitate than a REAL phone call is. Corporations ONLY care about profit. The phone companies are actively discouraging phone talking for the past twenty years: 1. Answering a cell phone call requires several operations and is not simple. 2. Audio fidelity is lousy. It is not pleasant, and barely workable for plain speech. The cell phone cannot transmit music over an ordinary conversation connection. 3. Good vocal communication encourages good relationships and populist political action. The more we can prevent good communication, the easier it is to keep people in corporate slavery."
