Richard Hogan: What is the deal with voice notes? Is monologue the new dialogue?

Do we no longer care for conversation with people? We have things to say and by God, we don’t need others getting in the way of saying it.

'Have we had enough of talking to each other, that we now require uninterrupted and undisturbed monologue time to interact with the interlocuter in our rambling soliloquy.' Picture: Yui Mok/PA Wire

Are we reaching the end of the art of conversation?

What the hell is the deal with voice notes? Now, I know I’m not particularly drenched in youth any longer, but I’m no Victor Meldrew either. That reference is probably the most middle-aged thing I’ve ever said. Damn.
