I've been an early adopter of #Internet things for decades, but at the same time, I work to be able to realistically assess the value as compared to other methods. Many things in #Austria still happen in person and via the #telephone, so its a good testing ground. I'm frequently surprised at how #efficient in-person/telephone can be when compared to #online, like government offices have employees that handle making appointments by phone, they are often really good at it, so its surprisingly fast

And what I find quite funny is that maybe a third of the phone call would be taken up with the standard Austrian pleasantries one must use, including a proper greeting and minimum two forms of goodbye 😉
