Okay, so this is not something that most people will have to deal with, but I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody that I speak to has a platform (read… WhatsApp, Messenger, Slack, Signal et al.) which they prefer to use. This means that I have to communicate on dozens of different platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a tiny mind, and I’ve no idea how we solve the splintering of communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was a kid, you had a postal address and a phone number. If you wanted to organise something, you had to arrange it in the real world; you had to agree to meet up at a place and a time and stick to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wanted to organise something with something in another continent, well that was bonkers and would take months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
