Speaker 1 (00:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
So this is a research study that's been sweeping the
world actually, and it started overseas at one university and
then it's been fulfilled at Murdoch University and it's keep
people are very interested in this particular research paper and
it's about phone usage of the generations. And what they've
discovered is that people under forty don't like making and
(00:22):
taking phone calls. They prefer text, messages and emails as communication.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
That's me.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
So gen Z eighteen to twenty six is that's gen Z.
Sixty percent dread taking and making phone calls and eighty
one percent are anxious by taking and making phone calls.
So it's called phone phobia. It's a new modern day phobia.
Or telephobia is another word.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
For I've seen it, have you? Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Who have you seen it in your gen Z?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I've seen it in Ben.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Just wait, he doesn't like to call My son, Yes,
and my step son and stepdaughter, both of them. You'll
just say, just call them, and then they're they're texting
away and I no, no, no, no, just call and
then they keep texting all.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, yeah, and they just they don't.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So here's so gen Z would they hate getting a
call out of the blue? They think that's rude. They
want you to text first to tell them that you're
about to call them, And to me, that's just like
another level of pain in the Assen.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Speak about this though.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
They're from a generation where all they know people calling
out the blue are telemarketers.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yes, so that was a part of the research that
if you don't know the number, why would that person
be calling you? But if you do know the number
and it's your mum, this even came down to they
won't even answer from their parents, right, but they will
let it go to voicemail. They'll listen to the voicemail
mail and then they will answer in text to their
very own family.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
You know what's ironic though, what the same generation and
that will just take a photo of a cupboard and
snap their friend show their cupboard. Or they take a
photo of their foot and they snap their friend and
then it's a foot. But you've got to be able
to interpret that and they have a conversation back and forth.
I just send a photo of a chair, but somehow
they understand what the chair means.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's fluent, some sort of picture language.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's fluent snappage.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
But I just think looks like a like a photo
by an accident. Yeah, right, that you send it.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, the generation of it all has to be set
up perfectly, and the light has to be good, and
everyone in the composition of the photo is going to
be perfect.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And they send these bluarry things to each other.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I just thought I felt a bit sad actually, because
you've touched on an alo that this is a generation
that gets all of these pest calls.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
But when I grew up, when you had just the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
One phone, it was a fight as soon as it
started to bring bring.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Can you imagine being one.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Of five kids and the flight and the scrap to
the phone and then grabbing it and then like it's
not for you, and then the devastation that it wasn't
your little best your little boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
That you have to hand it over to the fight
that you just it's for you.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It's for you, your boss dad.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Now they look at a phone ringing and they're like,
I'm not getting it, and you're not getting it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I'm getting it, I'm not getting it.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
They have no idea the joy of running to that
phone and having a phone.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So I want to open up the phones.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
If you want to talk to us, you're calling us,
We're not calling you. I want to ask the question,
do you still prefer old fashioned talking on the phone
or do you prefer texting emails and writing your messages?
Because I I'm not that. I'm not a text because
I have to. I much prefer to hear someone's voice.
I feel like it's faster and more efficient. Ring ring,
