Computer machines were first manufactured and initially marketed as devices or tools to help us at work. We were told they would perform amazing feats of office derring-do — summing up rows of numbers effortlessly, turning our musings into beautiful magazine-quality documents, and letting us collaborate with one another across multiple continents.
I notice myself spending most the time in front of the computer. I would be downloading web contents, socializing anywhere in our vast digital universe; – replying Emails, writing, web browsing, taking calls, Skyping, Facebook-ing, tweeting, designing, RSS Feeding. There are so many of these sites that just keeps you coming back to it – like an addiction!
DO You suffer from ‘Internet Addictive Disorder’ (IAD) ?
How do you value yourselves for utilising time on these digital gadgets of the future?!?
I found this great link to share; a ‘hierarchy chart of digital distractions’ by David McCandless, a London-based author, writer and designer, an independent data journalist and information designer. He has a great passion in visualizing information – the facts, data, ideas, subjects, issues, statistics, questions.
On the top diagram shown, each level in this hierarchy trumps the next.
So, if you get a new msg on Facebook, but your landline rings, you’ll take the landline call. You might have a spasmodic moment of ‘uh? wadd I do’. But, usually, you’ll take the call.
