Hi all --
At times I've seen people on this list mention the sense many people
seem to have that they are bombarded by too many messages throughout
the day, specifically in the form of friends continuously sending
them text messages and using social media to reach them (and
presumably expecting prompt responses).
Can anyone point me to research papers that addresses this phenomenon
of feeling anxious or stressed about how much friends communicate
with them through technologies?
Thanks,
Nancy
