I actually much prefer synchronous to asynchronous communication (at least with people I actually like) as I feel like so much humanity is lost in a block of formatted text in response to another block of formatted text.
At least texting is much better than email, you can still get some back and forth and spontaneity. My friends and I primarily use video or audio calls though
Im the robot and if you text me you will get a response in about a day and definately within a week and ti goes to my email so my reply will have my full email signature and likely your initial text as well as my text response.
