These are the words that famous R&B musician Drake sang in his massive hit ‘Hotline Bling’. That was back in 2015, and now, five years later, Drake’s words are more in tune with reality than ever. In 2018, figures from the Danish Energy Agency and the phone company 3 showed that the Danes are increasingly turning their backs on phone conversations. That year, the Danes spoke one billion fewer minutes on the phone than in 2017. And if we glance at the statistics since 2005, one in every four phone calls have disappeared. In other words, phone conversations may slowly end up being over and out. In this podcast, Jesper Tække, Associate Professor of Media Studies at Aarhus University, and Bent Meier Sørensen, Professor at the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy, each give their professional perspectives on what makes phone conversations so unique, how they contribute to our conversation skills, and what the consequences would be if we stop calling each other. Enjoy!
