25 years ago there was a pay phone in every gas station, and in denser areas in every corner market, bus terminal, grocery store, hotel, ..., not mentioning those installed directly along the street.
Similarly, people used paper maps while driving which were cumbersome, but didn’t live under the expectation or the opportunity of traveling to new locations regularly.
Maybe a 100" TV would be about the same.
But sadly, it is harder to get paper maps now, for obvious reasons.
I don't know anyone who expects me to be available 24/7.
Most people I know text don't text back immediately either.
It's a you problem, not a societal one.
Set some fucking boundaries and start acting like an adult.
But my point was, there are other people around. Yell, bang on a house's door, go into the gas station, etc etc.
