Too Much Wireless?
Is it possible? Could there be too many wireless devices? This columnist is arguing that as we make it easier and easier to connect any time from any place, we're actually doing ourselves a disservice and making it more difficult to ever get any actual work done. The idea is that all of the connectivity is actually a distraction from getting real work done - and that most people are more productive when they are left alone and can focus in on their work. The writer proposes that the technology we need shouldn't increase connectivity, but make us more isolated.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
