A recent study published in Perspectives on Psychological Science indicates a significant decrease in daily spoken words among individuals, with an average drop of 338 words per year since 2005. This trend, amounting to a nearly 30% reduction over 14 years, is attributed to the rise of the convenience economy, which prioritizes personal time and reduces opportunities for human interaction. Younger individuals, particularly those under 25, show a more pronounced decline in spoken words compared to older adults. AI
