That’s the title of another article I saw on the Sunday Times today. The focus is not on YouTube, but on cyber-loafing. It is rather similar to the previous article on Facebook.
Tan Sumiko (2007) the reporter of the article, states that some see cyber-loafing as a sign that employees are lazy, bored, unmotivated and unchallenged, and think they should be punished. However, others believe that workers who cyber-loaf are more productive as they are better able to priorities and manage their workloads. Moreover, it also reduces stress and allows workers to enjoy their work day more. It forms happier effective workers!
Technology changes our lives
A good point is made in this article that I would like to share. It is that technology has taken away the frustration of waiting. For example, if I have a sudden desire to shop in the middle of the night, I just go online. Another example would be SMS replacing letters.
Personally, if I would like to express my love to my boyfriend, rather than writing a long love letter and mail it to him (which takes around 1-2 days), I would choose to email him, and perhaps create a beautiful video of our photos through Photoshop, easily attach the video to YouSendIt, and email him the link. In moments of seconds, he would receive it.
This is how technology changes our lives.
