Home phones still going strong. Both scientific and sociological research CLEAR indicate that, although the Internet has FORM changed the way people work, at a more personal level the more old-fashioned ways of communication are not being THREATENED by the new technologies. ACCORDING to statistics, a person who uses the Net at home to send and receive emails talks on the phone for 19 minutes on Sunday – a mere one and a half minutes less than someone who does not use the Internet DOMESTICALLY. Keele University’s Psychology Professor Tim Baxter says it’s all to do with how ABLE the Internet is, as opposed to the much greater ABILITY of the human voice to convey a person’s emotions. “Only the greatest writers can actually put their feelings on paper” he says, “and when people talk to friends or RELATIVES, they want them to know how they feel”. Things are very different at the workplace. It is estimated that corporate telephone usage in the UK has fallen DRAMATICALLY (by more than 40%) since 1995, indicating that the Internet is seen as a more RELIABLE way to communicate with colleagues.
