I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't one person on Hubski who's so simplified that they only get one thing. I bet that the nature of the average Hubski user is one attuned to the internet, social media, and virtual interconnectedness...

If Hubski in and of itself counts as a channel (and it should) - well, I just doubt anyone internet-savvy enough to be on Hubski would have simplified enough that Hubski is the only regular way they communicate with others. I mean, you've all got email, right? And phones and text messages?

I can't imagine being much less hyper-connected than I am now. I use all these methods!! :)

Do you still have a corded plug-in-the-wall phone? Not the cool faux-rotary kind, like the very 80s rectangular gray phone complete with curlicule leash?

If we don't count this comment, all I've done is face to face talking for the past 24 hours.

I use irc and hubski several times a week. Texting a few times a month. Facebook posts less frequently than that, and email again so.

I used to snap chat a few times a week, but then I got out of the habit of keeping the phone charged up for it.

I won't text you to say "hey" but I'm tempted.

I wonder if there's a hierarchy of connection. For example, there are some people who I avoid any live, real-time converso. I'll just let some voices go to message, thank you.

Thank you messaging, thank you surreal time.

Me and maybe one other person here remembers when answering machines appeared in the 1980s. Imagine how exciting it might be to come home and check your messages!!

Of course, now I try not to leave the house - oh, except now. Have a f-2-f with a human in a bank.
