Tech Makes Working Harder

Ant wrote to mention a C|Net article exploring U.S. workers' productivity. People say they actually accomplish less now than they did a decade ago. Research blames technology as the culprit. From the article: "Technology has sped everything up and, by speeding everything up, it's slowed everything down, paradoxically ... We never concentrate on one task anymore. You take a little chip out of it, and then you're on to the next thing ... It's harder to feel like you're accomplishing something.'"

    The other day, I was driving up a highway. I opened the window and as soon as I felt the air blowing my hair, it all of a sudden added a good 20km/h onto my speed.

    And the other week, I sped up the time it takes me to do dishes by purchasing disposible dishes.

    Point?

    You guys are fucked... Come up with an article which makes SENSE. Paradoxes are for women and stories of drunken grandure.
