At the time the telephone began to be used in the United States in the 20th century, nobody understood "How to call the right phone". I invented a telephoneAlexander Graham BellBecause I like to tell "Ahoy-hoy!" When I start talking on the phone, while on the other hand there was discussion that "it is rude to start talking with" Hello "suddenly"AT & amp; TUrged people to avoid using "Hello". Etiquette magazine also said that women invited people to dinner using their phones "not desirable", but eventually "Hello" was used as the first voice of the phone, women got on dinner by phone Invitation was also regarded as a matter of course.

In the culture where phones are used as usual, people needed to answer the phone at the timing when the call arrived, and if you missed the phone you had to "wait" until the other party arrived again. The act of not answering the phone is equivalent to an act of "ignoring while someone is knocking on the door" and was considered to be disrespectful. Nevertheless, I can not check what the requirements of the phone are until I start talking and talking to me before that. Professor of communicationRobert HopperMr. said that such a telephone interaction was formatted and close to a kind of ceremony.

However, in recent years I have also forgotten how to respond when I pick up the phone. Also the telephone culture itself is already disappearing, Madrigal says that nobody tries to answer the phone, especially in the business world. Actually Madrigal also said that among the 50 calls that took in April 2018, it was four to five who pick up the receiver.

One of the reasons why the culture of telephones has almost disappeared is nothing more than a structural cause, that is, an increase in communication tools other than telephone. Starting with text messages, you can communicate in various ways, including pictograms and GIF images, photos, movies, hyperlinks and more. Moreover, there is almost no time gap between people who communicate, and it is almost as immediate as the phone. With the diversity of Twitter, Facebook, Slack, Mail and FaceTime coming up one after another, the existence of the phone has been forgotten.

However, Madrigal points out the existence of telemarketing as accelerating the flow of telephone disappearance. There are also "cyborgh · telemarker" which the robot responds to in the telemarketing, and the voice of the computer starts something like a conversation when answering the phone. There is also spam in the phone that uses Cyborg · telemarker to make sure that phone number is used.

The government is aware of this problem and the Federal Communications Commission is trying to reduce the number of phone calls made by robotsI am taking measuresPlace However, when I checked how many robot phones are being developed by the developer of the application "YouMail" for blocking robot phones, the number of robot phones has been the largest in April 2018, and measures are also taken It does not seem to work well.


Telemarkers played an active part in the former telephone culture. However, people are expensive and stop taking jobs that repeat the same thing. On that point, software and robots that can make phone calls are low in cost, keep on calling without drunk or children becoming sick.

When Mr. Madrigal inadvertently got out of the telephone which I normally neglected, the silence of a few seconds fell down, and then it was said that whether it leads to a human telemarker, the recorded voice flows, or the telephone has been turned off. In any case, Madrigal says that by doing the act of answering the phone, the spammer gave the information "This phone number is being used". Even though barely the form of a telephone remains, it seems that the former telephone culture and ceremonial flow have already disappeared.
