I wouldn’t be too sure about that.
Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do
Comment on My phone is just one big shitpost

My dad was complaining how the younger generation doesn’t answer their phone anymore and I had to explain it’s all scam calls now and it’s his generation that keeps the scammers in business

I believe that. Also, think it will always be this way. Older generations experience way more scams than the young ones have yet to learn about.

I’m likely your dad’s age. Strange that he wouldn’t get this concept. Even if you’re in my contacts, I’ll text before I call to ask if it’s ok. Even with my own spawn, I don’t just up and directly call her.

Emphasis on the would not, as distinguished from can not, it is refuses to.
Some people listen, others exclusively talk. Thank you for being part of the former:-).

That’s always seemed odd to me. I’m personally not a fan of texting, I always just call people. They answer or they don’t, and they’ll either call back when they’re free or text and we go from there.

For friends my own age, we’re all working sixty plus hours a week because hurray America and we live in different time zones. It’s a mutual courtesy to set a time to talk.

Ah the time zone thing makes sense. For all my buddies locally, we more or less know each other’s schedules.
