We managed these problems before everyone had a mobile phone.

  "What if you get an infection?" SoftTalker: "We managed healthcare before antibiotics, antiseptics, germ theory, sterilisation. Hah, gotcha."

    That's why I make sure my kid is chained to my side 24/7, you never know what could happen. This contact-ability panic is fucking ridiculous.

  Back them, they did called you to work and it was customary to rely message by two other people. There is no such desk anymore and they dont want to be handling your life. And if your kid needed to go home and sleep in bed, you had to take the day off instead of home office. There was price to that. Oh, and back then school did not expected parents and kids to have phones, now it does. Information about schedule changes, homework, what needs to be paid and such is broadcasted with the assumption that everyone has a phone.

    If you have an unusual lifestyle choice, you simply need to communicate that to all involved. Any that do not respect it, you can seek out alternatives for. One clinic denied me for not having a Google or Apple account, so I took my business to one that would accommodate me. Rolling over and doing what the majority of people want you do to is not how change happens.

  Yes but back then people also didn't expect you to have one. Society wasn't built around it.

    Who cares what others expect? Say it is your religion, or digital dietary preference. When they see you working circles around everyone else because your brain can finally focus, they will generally back off.
