Unlike a decade ago, U.S. workers are bombarded with e-mail, computer messages, cell phone calls, voice mails and the like, research showed.

I gave up my cell phone over a year ago. I have only missed it a couple of times....in fact, business colleagues, friends and family are more annoyed with its absense than I am. I don't like being at someone's beck and call........its a Virgo thing. <g>

As for the article, I question whether people aren't more productive now than 10-15 years ago. Fifteen years ago, you might have needed a secretary......now most people do their own typing. I think in fact we are so much more productive that less people are needed to do similar tasks. However, I think its the companies that have benefited more from hi tech than employees.

Interesting issue though.....someone brought it up in class late nite. Why is it so important that schools be so much on the cutting edge of technology? Are we spending too much money on tech and not enough on other essentials? In an effort to be tech savvy, are the kids getting shortchanged in terms of their education? Are we just encouraging the need for short sound bites that some believe contribute to the incidence of ADHD or ADD? It was an interesting discussion.
