Hasn't this communication thing gone far enough?

Ok. So I just got a text from my iPhone letting me know that I can now MMS on my phone if I install the latest update. I know this has been lacking in the iPhone but at the same time I am not sure I get it... How many different ways of communicating about the same trite stuff we are all living is really necessary? I can call, text, mms, email, facebook, twitter, skype, loopt, rss, youtube, and oh yeah, that crappy old voicemail, JUST ON ONE DEVICE! Isn't that borderline ridiculous? Interestingly enough almost everyone I talk to, when I ask "what are you up to?" They respond, "nothing. Just hanging out."

Oh yeah and just in case all of the BS aforementioned is not enough capacity for our amazingly interesting lives to convey all of the amazing crap we are up to... we can blog.
