I hate those. If you have called me I have a record of it - if you leave a VM make it relevant - not just "call me back" - it wastes both of our time.<br><br>I find myself wearing a watch a lot less - they still come in handy at times though. It is easier to sneak a peak at your watch then your cell phone when you are in a meeting or event and need to check the time. My favorite watch is one that has a 1GB flash drive built in - that comes in really handy.

Also i agree to the voicemail comment, practically the only one that leaves me messages anymore is mom. but I find it funny (and profound) when you say: "I think we’re finally getting to a point where the channel used will depend on the nature of the message and the relationship between the sender and receiver" because in many other languages there are even entirely different conjugations for every verb in there language depending on how well you know the person, and sentence structured rules depending on the situation and cause. to think that electronic communication is self developing to the level that there are unspoken rules for what form of communication to use depending on the nature of the message, and the relationship of the receiver. the "e-pen" is becoming stronger than the spoken word, blogs are replacing folk tales. this is fantastic for individual productivity. but hopefully we don't loose the importance , the feel, of talking to someone face to face or instead of reading our children bedtime stories we will be video conferencing with them.

I can delete without listenisng, or listen when I have the time - if ever. So maybe voice mail just needs some new wide-spread technology to win us all back.
