  Me: What time do you think you'll be home?
  Wife: Um, well, first I need to do x, and then I need to go     
    to y, which will probably take an hour.  And then I might
    swing by z.
  Me: So what time do you think you'll be home?

I am not a boss, but quite opposite. But often find myself answering the same way. And later just putting myself into boss's position find that this was not the best answer. Straight and simple yes/not/[number]/today/now/tomorrow much better. Reserve informal talk to a lunch with boss.

"I don't find this to be a technological problem, but a people problem..."

Correct. People are mistakenly letting technology take over their lives--for the worse.

Rather than a negligent and shallow rant on technology, I thought it was a rant on society's negligent and shallow relationships.
