At the time of writing, my device statistics say I hear buzzing on average 181 times per day. That’s approximately 11 notifications per waking hour or 2 notifications every 10 minutes of my day. To some of you this might be on the lower end, but to me it’s suffocating, claustrophobic even. Humanity has never been this available before, people (even ones you’ve never met) can contact you in a million and one ways and they will reach you. What’s more – they expect an instant response.
