Why do you never call?
By Noemi Capparelli
This infopoetry wants to show how different generations conceive communication and how they use a medium such as the smartphone. It is a reflection on how young people, starting from me as a study case, tend to communicate mainly throught text messages, meanwhile some adults, like my dad, will rather spend hours talking on the phone. This difference leads one to reflect on how communication nowadays must be fast, concise, and often detached. Some, however, continue to seek closer, more lasting, more in-depth contact even through the use of cell phones. In particular, the project compares the amount of time spent by my dad an I talking on the phone and the amount of WhatsApp texts sent.
