I was thinking the same thing, this is sounding more and more like simple paranoia. Technology is explained by scientific evidence, there is no need or evidence for woo woo.
As for looking up a number and dialling being faster than a text, I’m frankly dubious, and a call-back is not always practical, and of course text messaging mean you can send information instantly to multiple recipients and forget about it, attached documents, photos, add links etc.
This woo woo fear of technology is nonsense sorry. Technology may have down sides, but they have nothing to do with woo woo superstition.
