You’re right: I’ve noticed that people don’t make simple plans any more. It’s all vague multi-calls: I’ll call you when I leave, where are you, I’m on my way, where shall we meet, I’m running a little late, etc, etc.
Kind of like the vague, insecure voice patterns that I hear more and more often.
Also in the work place, which can extend to email "conversations" that lead to "conference calls" that people do not listen, but are texting and not paying attention, that lead to "meetings" where people do not listen since they are addicted to their crack berries. I am not saying that technology is bad, I work in IT after all, but there is a terrible misuse of technology.
