Alternately, this is a terrible example of how work is getting done today. Nobody can have a meal in peace, work on something without getting interrupted, or drive while concentrating on the task at hand. Work is a 24-hour priority and nobody feels morally justified in missing a moment of conversations that can come "in bursts throughout the day," on into the evening, and through sick days, vacations, weddings, funerals, and probably the act of human conception. Technology is solving and creating collaborative problems at roughly the same speed!
