@neauoire I didn't understand why it's harder for them, if the technology is there (maybe because I am not an English native speaker).

@utopify_org Because async communication has fallen out of fashion, the explosion of tools to do real time communication has brought with it the belief that people ought to be reachable at all times during workhours. That work hours is not only hours of work, but access hours. Which is incompatible when you live on the water and weather and tide dictates where you can be and at what time.

@neauoire Thank you for the explanation.

It sounds horrible that asynchronous communication isn't possible anymore or that there is a duty of being online all the time.

This reminds me on some (ex) friends, who are 24/7 online and don't get the concept of being offline.

I don't use mobile internet at all (never used it) and if I want to meet someone, I plan it days in advance or at least hours.

But those people are just not capable of it. They forget the appointment or are so distracted by social media and stuff, that they are too late and they always write me a message, that they will be late, but they know exactly I can't read the message if I am on my way to meet them.

These people require me to be online all the time so that they can write me the message that they are late.

Guess why they are not my friend anymore? 😀
