This is telling. A generation has had interruptions so normalised, that for them it's a given that you're interrupted as part of interactions with other people.

Were you to _call_ them on their phones though, they'd stare in horror at the device, wondering who could be so mentally deranged. The irony makes me smile :)
- xigoi 4y agoA call requires immediate attention, which is not always possible and often unnecessary. A notification lets you know that there is something to check out, but you can choose when to check it out.
- ghusto 4y agoThat's fair, though I think what most of us are talking about is the interruption itself.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoI'm probably one of the oldest people on here. Certainly I'm far older than the "kids these days with their beeping pinging phones, how can they stand it" demographic.
- rufus_foreman 4y ago>> A generation has had interruptions so normalised When I was growing up, the phone would ring and you would answer it without knowing who it was because people didn't have answering machines or caller ID. Interruptions were much more intrusive then.
