It's not worse now. If you get a call and can't or don't want to talk ignore it and return it at your leisure. You have everyone you want to talk to in your phone and you know who is calling or called you

I believe that with the advent of answering machines, and Caller ID in the late 90s, the need to interrupt your day and rush to the bell ceased. After all, you could know who was calling with a little waiting with the tape, and immediately with ID, and could decide whether or not it's worth picking up.
