I assume that this rant refers to all equivalent “interruption technologies” that demand immediate attention? Video chats, instant messages, etc - any form of synchronous communication…. They’re all the same for me, making me do something others want rather than whatever I was doing before being interrupted. And it’s not the most intrusive form of communication as I can mute the ringer and deal with voicemail when I wish. The most intrusive form is standing in front of me wanting to talk. Can’t really mute such things. Oh, sorry, that’s synergy and the added value of the office. I find audio conversation, used correctly, to be a higher bandwidth medium than text. And far more satisfactory when dealing with those I know.
