Not to be snarky, phones do have an “off” button. There is no reason we can’t have a little disconnectedness anywhere we choose. Ie: the problem isn’t the connection, it’s the expectation that just because there is a connection there is also a need to respond.


I think the problem isn't me turning my phone off, it's other people not turning their phone off.


This problem will fade, the way hearing custom ringtones on flip phones in the early aughts did.
