[quote=Anonymous]I have had 3 different friends who were frequent communicators/responders all stop being responsive once they got a smartwatch. It’s baffling to me because when I’m actually with them; they’re looking at it all the time because they’re constantly getting alerts, so it’s not that they’re putting devices away and becoming low tech, it’s the opposite. Now when I text them; instead of getting back to me within an hour or two or on the same day or next day like they used to, it’s a few days later, a week later, or just not at all. And before the DCUM tribe comes at me with pitchforks—no I’m not jealous that they have one, and no I’m not the type to demand quick responses and get angry when I don’t get them. I’m not a needy friend. They were just one type of communicator before and a different type after. Has anyone else noticed this pattern in your friends/relatives who got smart watches? Have you noticed this of yourself if you got a smart watch? I know 3 is not a huge sample size, so I’m wondering if this has been a thing others have noticed?[/quote]
