I'm the earliest of the Gen whatevers. Once were were introduced to texting and email, we began avoiding the phone, wherever we could.
I'm still unlikely to demand someone's immediate attention by triggering klaxons and fanfare on their device - not if quieter, more considerate comms will do the job.
- cranky908canuck 1y agoFair enough. I have dealings with Gen(xyzqbvwhatever) that don't respond to the 'more considerate forms' in a timely fashion. So after a grace period, I jangle the bell. I get the other side of this. I get a ping for a message while driving, I can't do anything about it (distracted driving etc). So I either pull over (or turn off the highway altogether), or resolve to deal with it at my destination. Nine times out of ten, if I pull off, it's an urgent notification that 1) my screen time is up by 17 minutes, 2) Second Cousin in Arkansas reposted a message about another missing cat, or 3) your soliac serucity number has been supsedned, CLICK HERE NOW TO AVOID ARREST AND JAIL. However, when I get to the destination, I forgot that I got a ping. Sometimes I think that the best option is to toss the cellphone, so that nobody has illusions about how (not) to contact me.
