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.'"

  1. new wide screen ipods? by freshfromthevat · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wonder if the give away of 10 video ipods was calculated to be almost at the same time (but just before) the announcement they'd scheduled for Feb 28? Coincidence? I think not!

    Rumor has it that Apple will announce new and improved video ipods with all conceivable features including factory chrome!
