I absolutely hate that WSJ made this an age thing when it didn't need to be, and I absolutely think that if you find programs like Slack overwhelming that's just because no one's told you how to properly set them up.https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-instant-message-generation-gap-1523972835 …

This is ~actually~ the story WSJ should have written, not a tired youngs/olds divide. The hodgepodge is the problem, not the app itself!pic.twitter.com/kPjUi037sp

If you give people a tool, they're going to use it how it was designed. Instant communication is harmful for focus and productivity.

you may find it to be that. not everyone does. i think it's on you to find a setting for the tool that works for you.

I don't hate email, but i hate when it's used to, say, coordinate projects. People are always left off chains, then you have a million +Joe! adds, "got this, thanks!" On slack, anyone who needs to can watch the machinery move, and then you can use email to, say, send big updates.
