You should just call people on the phone

Bring back real phone calls, I say!

• The iPhone has a new feature that screens unknown callers.
• Etiquette has shifted so people think they need to text first before calling.
• But I say — let the calls flow! Bring back spontaneous calls!

It's 2026, and I say it's time to bring call just calling people. No calendar appointment, no text first. Just pick up the phone and call.

We must do this to save the very fabric of our society....
