When are people ever going to realise that telephones are archaic, intrusive technology? Communication is so much simpler by e-mail and fax.

Unless something is very urgent, there is hardly ever a need to telephone people these days. The only exception being when you are calling a friend or family member for a chat at a mutually convenient time.

We try to run our business by e-mail and fax wherever possible. By doing so we get a permanent copy of whatever was arranged, so there can rarely be a misunderstanding or argument about what was said. Fax and e-mail communications also give the recipient time to work out the best response.

In our business, there is nothing worse than people who simply have to telephone every communication no matter how basic. A telephone call is often intrusive, as the person who takes the call was most likely doing something else when the phone rang. Then when the phone call ends, it takes time to get back into whatever it was you were in the middle of doing. An e-mail or fax can be handled whenever you have a free moment.

After years in business I have grown to HATE the telephone so much that I won't even answer it at home. I would rather let it ring out. I'll only answer my mobile if I know who is calling. Whenever I hear the telephone ringing, all I hear is some impatient person shouting at me "talk to me; I need your attention; I don't care what you are doing now, I can't wait; talk to me now".

Have you noticed how most people will drop everything to answer a telephone? It doesn't matter who they were talking to first, as soon as the phone rings the person on the other end of the phone butts into the conversation as if to say "I don't care what you are doing right now, I need your attention". Telephones suck! Don't you just hate it when you visit a bank, office, business or wherever, and you have to stand in a queue, slowly inching your way towards the front. You finally get to the front, and someone phones the business. The clerk who was about to serve you suddenly drops everything and handles the phone call. You have to wait, even though you were there first. Common courtesy on the part of the clerk would be to say to the person on the phone "I'm sorry but there are other people in the line before you, you will have to wait your turn", and then serve the people who were in the real line first.

Once again, in case you didn't get it the first time - I HATE PHONES! PHONES SUCK!
