I feel sorry for anyone that 'must' check their electronic life every few minutes. It keeps one in a state of near permanent standby, which is stressful to the whole organism and is very similar to symptoms of pavlovian addiction. The near and middle term future will be interesting in terms of this changeover from the generations that were analogue, so to say, to those that are pure digital. Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic in seeing this transition as not totally positive.
