I hear all the time about people turning their notifications off and it feels so bizarre. Do you guys keep an internet connection on at all times? That just feels so bizarre and counter-intuitive... I saw several people around me that don't ever turn off the connection and that gives me massive cognitive dissonance.
presumably the idea is just to use/interact with the device on one's own terms, rather than being harrassed by it into engagement?
i do both, but they're different things.
Turning the internet on only when interacting with device does exactly that. That seems like the intuitive thing to do - yet I see people with it on all the time and it feels very bizarre.
