Notification Overload!

There once was a time when the only way to recieve emails and check for facebook messages etc was to log into your computer and check. It may be several days before you would look however there was that element of curiosity. However due to modern technology we no longer have the issue of wondering. 

The main annoyance for me is facebook. Due to the creation of apps I no longer need to go on my laptop to get updates or even open the app on my phone, it pings every time there is a slight movement on my page! In addition to this my ipad also has a facebook app. It doesnt ping but it lights up or appears at the top of my screen if i have a notification. 

Now I know I can turn them off but when I'm out and about its handy when my phone tells me if something happens and if I'm on my ipad it means I don't have to check every two minutes but heres the thing that reeeealllyyyyy gets on my nerves... When I'm sitting on my laptop with the facebook tab open, watching something on my ipad with my phone sitting next to me.  Then someone say, writes me a message on fb chat. The tab flashes and makes a noise, my iapd lights up aaaanndddd my phone makes that annoying pinging noise...every time I recieve a message! After like the 5th time I get so pissed off I have to start ignoring people.

Thanks technology but can't you do some kind of syncing thing where you only notify me on the thing closest too me?!
