My friends will back me up on this: I’d rather type than talk. I can count on one hand (minus the thumb) the number of people I will willingly and gladly phone. Everyone else gets me in e-mail or chat. I’ve been using real-time chat for so many years that I no longer see much difference between typing and talking. It’s all communication to me.
This short film shows what too much IM can lead to. I wish I’d made this one, but I was beaten to the punch by three clever guys in Winnetka, Illinois—Picture Show Films.

you’re not alone on this, i’d much rather carry a conversation via IM anymore… the more i think about it the more i get a little concerned.
