Eh, maybe a bit, but I meant "text", not "texting". Since most of my communication is through Teams/Signal/WhatsApp/Discord, and there's invariably a desktop app, I wind up using a keyboard much of the time anyway.

Since I grew up with BBSs, I spent _way_ more time typing and reading things than I did having a non-digital phone call.
