Message + Channel = What You Hopefully Meant to Say

Technology has created channels to easily push your message out.

My daughters play high school varsity softball—although with the spring we're having, they've yet to play a game and have postponements crowded into the calendar.

A text from my daughters' softball coach combined with an email saying tonight's game is postponed tells me quickly not to go to the ballpark after I leave the office. While the deluge of rain and sleet hint that no one will be at the ballpark, those of you who have played outdoor sports/have kids who do know that nothing is official until the game is called. That text and email give me a quick update, saved me the time of driving out of my way and tell me to quickly come up with a "Plan B" dinner idea. There's probably no better, more efficient way to communicate that news.
