Why Won't Gen Z Pick Up the Phone

These are conversations with my old man Ian Smissen for you to learn more about Australian culture, news, and current affairs.Â
In today's episode...
Here’s another weekend with my dad and me on the Aussie English podcast!
In today’s Goss episode, we talk about an article I found saying that Gen Zers (and Millennials) refuse to answer phone calls.
Do you feel the same way, too? As the article implies, Gen Zers dislike answering phone calls because it feels intrusive.
We also talk about how odd it is for Gen Zers to prefer text messaging to let out their thoughts, spending several minutes typing, when calling someone will only take 30 seconds to breathe out everything they typed.
Could social media platforms be the reason the phone call culture is waning?
Join us for another round of great chin-wagging here on the Aussie English podcast!
