I imagine it might go better now that I'm not a horribly awkward teenager and have learned some small talk and open ended questions :)

However, in today's age I have to say that these sorts of little fun social experiment projects are just a lot harder to engage with without the back of your head going: "I wonder if this has some data collection, or voiceprint collection mechanism behind it". I'm not saying it does. In fact my natural assumption would be that it doesn't. But I can't be s…
"Super neat concept, sort of like a stripped down chatroulette." Actually.. if you were around in the 80s, then you know that this isn't new, and not really a great concept. https://medium.com/timeline/party-lines-teens-a1be20c45686

The Serial Port recently made a fantastic documentary on the IPhone, including conversations with its creators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cip9w-UxIc

Well can't you at least appreciate how it's all in this cool and down-to-earth lowercase? Clearly there was a stylistic effort.
