what i personally want to be free from is the use of QR codes for maps in public places, like have a QR code to let people pull up a map and keep it on their phone sure, but I've been to shopping malls where they replaced the map directory with a blank poster and a QR code, presumably because the turnover on real estate is so high and they can't manage to keep anyone employed long enough to replace the map everytime a store closes...
I went back to candy bar phone more than a decade ago and I barely use it.
I imagine they would hate next time you need to organise a trip and you can't join their group chat for coordination.
Or are you one of these people who calls everyone for basically no reason when a message could suffice?
and IME cats don't self organize into a herd, it's usually one person figuring out a time and place that works for everyone, unless you're one of those insufferable people who sends out a "when are you free" survey of checkboxes ;P
That's increasingly rare. My elderly dad still uses voice calling pretty much exclusively and a friend who I'll exchange voice calls with. But I don't think there's a single other person who would call me out of the blue socially absent an emergency--and at least some of these are people I would have regularly called 25 years or so ago.
For that matter, no one at work would just call me on the phone either.
In any case, the goalposts for calling someone out of the blue have moved for a lot of people.
Now you can call them literally 24/7 no matter where they are in the world. There is no recluse.
Interrupting people in the middle of what they're doing whenever, wherever is quite rude and fixing that etiquette is a GOOD thing.
