Narcissistic, invasive, annoying? No way the voice note is a lifeline | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
Briefly

Where once I felt annoyed when I received one, as though listening to another human being's voice were simply too demanding, now I'm excited to hear what the person has to say, and how. Funny, sad, entertaining, long-winded, digressive, insightful; whatever their style, I can't praise them enough.
Voice notes are an extension of the oral culture, particularly in Italian society, where the spoken word is highly valued over text-based communication. It serves as a medium to connect emotionally and express thoughts more effectively.
Voice notes allow individuals to share emotions, inspired thoughts, rants, or hilarious moments authentically. The pressure to listen immediately can be a drawback in our hyperconnected lives, but their value lies in personal expression.
