Technology makes you unproductive

Apparently technology makes you unproductive. According to Reuters, " Americans work more, seem to accomplish less." The reason is because technology prevents us from concentrating on one task anymore. We multi-task far too much and allow electronic distractions like email, instant messages and phone calls distract us from the tasks at hand. The articles includes some interesting statistics including the fact that workers get 46 e-mails a day, nearly half of which are unsolicited. The most worrying line comes at the end of the article, where a consultant explains that there's a sense among employees in most companies that no matter how much they do, it is considered never enough.
