For most people, email, voice mail, cellular phones, fax machine, and the host of technology that is part of our lives have only lengthened our workday and given us less time to ourselve.
The greater access to communication that technology provides makes our "To Do" lists much longer. Twenty-five years ago, when you called someone who wasn't home, the phone rang many times, and that was it. There was not an onus on the person called to return your call; the onus was on the caller to try again. But with voice mail, the onus is on the called to return the call.
