I tried going an entire week without listening to a single voicemail, except for work messages. Once received in individual or group chats, I replied OK or raised hand without pressing play. Absolutely nothing happened. True, he is not the head of government or the mediator in amnesty talks for the Catalan separatists, but an ordinary person, which is why there is no need to put up with this nonsense. As it turned out, I didn’t miss any relevant information, the world didn’t end, my communication continued, and my social life was as diminished as ever. It has been proven that the sounds we receive dozens of times are indispensable, an earache we unnecessarily inflict on ourselves. I hate them, it especially annoys me when in a conversation of several people only one of the participants uses them. WhatsApp’s (oh my goodness, let’s see if it matters) concern is misplaced and must stop, recordings of people pushing messages four kilometers long to ask their neighbor a question, involving yawning, sneezing and “Wait” should be made public. Wait a minute, they’re calling me on my landline, mmmmmm, wait, I’m paying at the supermarket checkout, mmmm, wait, I found Loli, what’s up good, here’s what I say to the moms at school…” . You leave the meeting, put on your headphones and patiently listen to the five and a half minute audio testament, which can be simplified like this: “Bread for the meeting you bring it.” Stop making fun of the staff. Let’s give our eardrums a rest, because if I collected all the files that ended this year, I would enjoy Don Quixote on audiobook. Give me a title or even a few phrases that we say in these pages, because if I want a podcast professional and I look for one that has a subject that interests me.
Although some psychologists extol the virtues of voice notifications over actual speech (ideas can be developed without interruption, control is not lost on the recipient) or written message (voice has the power of persuasion and lends truth to what is said). expressed, what is written may be misinterpreted), the truth is that they are received lazily. The geniuses at El Mundo Today posted that last Halloween’s scariest costume consisted of a screen that said “recording audio.” In fact, instant messaging applications introduced voice notes into our lives, and then artificial intelligence is trying to fix this destruction. What if there was a switch that would transmit them at full speed, necessary for those who are slow and abuse fillers, what if there was another switch nearby that would automatically transcribe them without having to listen to them. Applying the law of maximum laziness, leaving voicemails instead of texting was considered an improvement, and we now prefer letters as long as we don’t have to write them ourselves because acoustic spam has proliferated and become overwhelming. Because sometimes the voices of others circulated like counterfeit money, and sometimes were used as evidence in trials, they invented sounds that self-destruct once listened to. A recommended format for those who decide to innovate this year and send their Christmas greeting with a ‘song’ sound.
