You mean like chat or email?
- dfc 14y agoYou /msg or email people standing next to you?
- mdonahoe 14y agoever work in an office?
- dfc 14y agoI have but I had a door so maybe that's what is different. But still I don't know why I would stand next to someone and chat / email them...
- mistercow 14y agoI do. When sending a link for example, this is the path of least resistance. Yes, I could read it out and have the other person type it (which would take ten times as long). And yes, if I wanted to use bandwidth optimally, I would make a direct connection to their device and send it that way. But up to a certain length of data, the overhead of making that specialized connection outweighs any inefficiency of communicating through a middleman.
- blub 14y agoYes, emailing/chatting is also ridiculous. And so is sending a package when you want to hand someone an object. Terribly inefficient.
