the telephone. with a wire. the one that has been around for a century.
call some one, talk about a specific topic. maybe e-mail a document before or after.
on the phone you are not distracted by the notifications and the emoji's, you focus on the topic at hand.
- ammar_x 5y agoI got your point. Yes, telephone calls would eliminate distractions but it lacks a lot of necessary features. Sharing screen is a must in our company. Also no whiteboard alternative. And we have many non-native English speakers so voice only might not be enough to always understand what they're saying. I think a telephone call might be good for a few cases but in our case (technology/marketing company,) I don't think it's a good way to communicate remotely.
- spicybright 5y agoWhat line of work are you in where you don't need screen sharing? Most of my meetings are audio only with screen share. I'm in software development.
- Graffur 5y agoVoice calls are overrated. Plus it soon leads to multi-party voice calls and then multi-party video calls. If you've worked from home for the last 2 years you'll know how awful they are.
