A plea for patience!

Many of the people I work with are in their 20s. Like most of us, they all use smartphones.

I've discovered over the last couple of years, that they get literally dozens of "notifications" every day - and the notifications of emails, texts, etc. are on the screen chronologically.

So they often miss the "early arrival" messages, which are scrolled off screen when more recent messages show up. They don't bother scrolling to see all the notifications, and say they're "overwhelmed".

How the heck do you reach people when they only use texts, and often never see messages that are an hour or two old.

Smoke signals - that's about it. And with many, the smoke is blue and "interesting".

Younger folks seem to prefer the short "dinner tonight?" or "busy?" or funny video, over actual needs for info or help. They don't like emails because they're "too long to read". So they just scroll to the "fun stuff".

Seriously - how do people communicate these days?
