> Just look at anyone under the age of 25 (35 maybe?) They can easily have long, meandering conversations with actual humans using voice, yet I see them go for text 9 times out of ten.

Where do you live that they prefer texting?

My acquaintances in that age range love sending voice (and fucking video, yes yes) messages. And I mean not intimate chats with close friends or relatives where you want to hear the voice and see the face. No this is just how they convey info. Including some people from UK.
