I feel texting, emailing, etc... loses a bit of a personal touch and you can never quite see how the other person is actually saying it.
At least a phone call you can hear their voice and maybe detects hints or sarcasm or frustration or what have you. I can't quite do that with a text.
Technology is convenient, but it's taking away from face-to-face interpersonal connection that we have. All the kids taking the bus are texting away, with their headphones plugged into something or playing on a DS or PSP or what not. I miss the days where I'd be able to meet people riding the bus.
Let people do what they want, you can't control them and it certainly not something I'd try to do. If they don't want to text or email, then let them not text or email. If you email them and they call you, so be it, what's the big fuss?
