What do you think people did before smartphones, or even before the internet? It wasn't that long ago, you could ask someone. You know, in person.

- Gordonjcp 4y agoWe had these things called "phones", which were attached to the wall with a bit of wire, and made a loud chiming sound when someone wanted to talk to you. They didn't have a "Do Not Disturb" mode as such, but typically if you wanted to use it to talk to someone you would do so if it was important.
