Absolutely. Email is a far more comfortable and less obtrusive means of communication than talking on the phone -- which I find is distracting, time-consuming and generally annoying. Sometimes phones become necessary, e.g. conference calls during meetings, or emergency situations. Otherwise I don't give out my phone number, and leave my cell phone turned off - for emergency use or job hunting purposes only.

I believe that talking on hand held cell phones should have been outlawed years ago. It has been proven highly dangerous, and we have seat belt laws, so why not? The telecommunications lobby, no doubt. Arrgghh.
