ADVANCE FOR USE TUESDAY, FEB. 26, 2013 AND THEREAFTER - In this Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013 photo, Mahrinah von Schlegel, managing director of Cibola, an incubator for tech entrepreneurs that will open this spring, checks a social networking site at her office in Chicago, as her cell phone sits nearby. "People get angry when not answered and send multiple messages," says von Schlegel. She says missed communication has caused her to lose some business deals. Often, it's when people try to contact her by Facebook or direct message on Twitter and she doesn't see the messages for days. Email, she says, is her preferred mode of communication. But even then, she says, there are only so many hours in the day: "I still need time to eat and sleep and shower." (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
