10/6    Poll. Do you use the following to communicate or to
        receive information regularly?
        Twitter: .
        Facebook: ..
        RSS Reader:..
        CSUA Motd: .....
        CSUA Wall:
        E-mail: ...
        Telephone: .
        None of the above:
        \_ for some version of 'regularly'
        \_ I hate telephone. I hate how there's a long period of
           bullshit protocol exchanges like "Hi how is your kid?
           Fine, is HP doing ok? Alright, the weather is great
           too in Menlo Park, yes?"
           \_ Same reson why I don't like breakroom conversations at my
              workplace.
              \_ except conversation is a side-effect of the
                 intent of the breakroom, whereas the telephone
                 is simply an out-dated and inefficient
                 protocol to get things done ASAP.
                 \_ Interesting. I have found a phone call is the quickest
                    way to get a response versus, say, e-mail or texting
                    which is easy to ignore.
                    \_ People don't usually ignore me, so I prefer IM for
                       working on technical problems. It is hard to explain
                       things like log files and unix commands over the phone.
                       When people start trying to ignore me, I often resort
                       to the phone.
