Well, it is technologically not that hard to imagine a solution---the problem is social, getting everyone to agree on how to do it, figure out the policy around it, etc. And the situation is getting so bad that maybe it is time for someone (maybe someone reading this thread) to figure it out.
The same goes for telephony.

I reject all phone calls by default, unless I'm expecting a call.
