Sadly we have become a society where employers demand 24/7 access to their staffs, parenting minor children has become nearly impossible (decline of public schools, etc.) and leisure time for most of us has diminished to almost zero. The ability to assure an anxious boss that you’re working from home on Sunday without actually having to pick up the phone is a godsend for some of us. Texting back and forth between parents stuck in meetings and traffic in order to make sure someone’s picking up the kids is also a useful tool. That is not to say it should take the place of face to face contact with those you wish to have real relationships with. It is difficult to judge whether technology has hastened the pace of the craziness or simply made it slightly more bearable.
