 I miss my pager.

 When someone paged you, they had to be available to you. You'd call
 them back, discuss what they needed or what was broken, and you could
 set expectations on service.

 Now, people feel like they can send an email, get back to their lives
 and an invisible clock is ticking as soon as they hit "send".

 I remember when you could tell the execs in the company - they had flip
 phones. people could email you after hours but not them.
