Spot on insights! my last organization had a 7 hour internet outage during office hours and I had the privilege of asking some of the more “seasoned” professionals how in the world did people work in offices before the internet and one joked “we didn’t”

After the quick laugh the team member shared a very similar sentiment to that of your post:

“We made it easier to meet, now our monthly meetings have become weekly. We made it easier to communicate now our correspondence is expected within minutes.” (rough paraphrase)

As we steadily barrel into the inevitable “next shift of optimization” that we hear developers prophesy on San Josean stages just about every other week, I’ll be sure to be intentional at spotting what feels the newfound void.
