I agree with Damon Krukowski that digital microphones do not have as much proximity as analog microphones, but I don’t think that means we don’t have phone privacy. Krukowski points out that “with the transition to digital, the sound of our voices on the phone has become worse … no matter how near we keep them to our lips, there is no proximity impact on the cellphone, everyone sounds as near or as far as everyone else.” He states that the voice we hear on the phone just offers words, not much of the atmosphere, and therefore loses privacy. I assume, however, that through the sound of the voice, we can still feel intimacy. We can say if the person we are talking to is happy, sad, worried, and so on, also from the digital phone. Moreover, digital microphones allow us to communicate with individuals, such as our family members, all over the world. A simple phone call means a lot to us as we live in the distance and we get to it quickly.
