I read an interesting article in the New York Times today. They were quoting a survey from a company called Basex and to say the least I was surprised.
U.S. companies lose $650B a year in productivity. That's Billion with a B. They term the phenomena "information overload." The average American worker turns to their Outlook or email client over 50 times a day. Instant messaging takes the productivity killer title with a suprising average of 77 times a day used. I find that number hard to believe.
Overall the message is clear. Are the conveniences of 2008 helping or hindering our productivity? Well I just killed 10 minutes on this blog....
