<p>A lot of discussion about generational communication focuses on asynchronicity, and I think that's right.</p><p>For boomers, phones were async because if someone was away from home, you missed them and left a message if they had an answering machine. Now everyone carries a phone around.</p><p>For my generation, texting is async because you can check your phone whenever. Now everyone is on their phone 8 hours a day.</p><p>For Gen Z, having to open Discord is a *feature*; meanwhile I never remember to check it.</p>
<p>I feel justified about my choices in communications platforms because mine are relatively open (~everyone has a phone and email, you can choose from many providers for either), and modern platforms are not (you can't even *view* Instagram / Twitter without being forced to log in). But realistically, older people felt the same: "everyone has a phone, not everyone has a cell phone plan; I like hearing your voice, text lacks the same emotional connection."</p>
