Call, Speak, Vocalize, Listen.

This study suggests that there really is a problem with our heavy reliance on texting and other non-voice methods of communication. While it isn't a surprise that there is a cognitive difference between our reactions to a known voice and to a written text from that same person via a digital device, being able to break it down to the level of neuroendocrine response is pretty notable.

In any case, if you're feeling stressed, call your mother --- don't text her.
