This can lead to misunderstandings. For instance, checking a phone and ignoring someone's conversation can signal that you're not paying attention, or perhaps that you're busy, but it may also be seen as disrespectful. Similarly, failing to respond promptly or replying in monosyllables can lead to strained relationships.
Moreover, maintaining online continuity with loved ones and friends is challenging. When we're not online at the same time, our digital 'off' signal is unclear to others. This ambiguity can cause social isolation. and people may mistakenly believe that we're ignoring or rejecting them.
Therefore, the need for a visible signaling of our digital availability has become essential in defining healthier boundaries and maintaining fruitful relationships with others.
The concept of 'availability signals' offers a potential solution to this issue. Availability signals are digital indicators that communicate our digital status to others. These signals can take the form of virtual 'badges' that we can display on our devices.
For instance, an example of such an availability signal could be numerical-coded:
- yellow for busy
- green for available
- blue for not available
Moreover, explicit use of such availability signals does not preclude us from curating our boundaries through various tools as social tools facilitate 'limited' or 'detailed' access to us. When necessary, we may choose to put a clear boundary that gives a precise message.
While digital etiquette also has its pitfalls, introducing digital signaling availability can enhance amicable digital co-existence.
