I agree with the statement but I suspect we disagree with who it describes.

I use text, email, and messenger interchangeably. However someone wants to get in touch with me, I facilitate it. My devices are configured to receive in near real time and provide alerts when appropriate. I can easily ignore anything I want to ignore but if something needs my attention I try to make sure it can get my attention.

There is one exception - phone calls. If you call on the phone I am just as likely to force it to voicemail so that I have a recording of the message for posterity.

I don’t use WhatsApp yet, mostly because none of my contacts have requested it but partly because of a generational issue of laziness and incompetence. It’s a technology in use today but I haven’t bothered to take the time to learn that new stuff yet.
