What? You lost me. A drill is a tool and a phone I can see as a tool, but why would you use a drill to hammer a nail? Ergo - email for text or phone for conversation. It does not bother me that people text, but I wonder why. They can leave a message by voice if nobody picks up. However, if it costs less to text, I'm all for it, but won't do it.
