Wall Street Journal/华尔街日报：

Voice messaging—those push-to-talk notes that last no more than 60 seconds—was an early feature that helped WeChat gain traction after its launch in early 2011. It can feel more personal than text messaging. It is easier for people who fumble with smartphone keypads. A few years ago, speaking to smartphones was as fashionable as toting an iPhone in its early days.

Now, voice messaging is seen as the province of seniors, plus a few on-the-go groups such as salespeople and drivers.

I am in my early 30s and have 2 master‘s degrees. Let me tell you, I LOVE voice messages.

1. Text messages can easily be confusing. Jokes may not read funny or can be mistaken as being serious. The opposite can happen too.

2. Voice messages force you to be focused while communicating.

I guess 2 is the main reason why a lot of people hate voice messages. They are multi-tasking super stars (although researches typically show very few really are).

I agree. Text messages can be misconstrued or even modified and quoted out of context. And voice messages are a burden to the receiver? Maybe we should not send any messages and just keep calling until the desired party answers the phone--like 60 years ago, before answering machines.
