Before computing became a way of life, our lives were simpler. There were fewer messages to process on a daily basis, and we generally spent more time on fewer tasks. In that sense, we were a highly unproductive society. Fortunately, we now have modern computing technology, with all its labour-saving capabilities, which allows us to spend minimal amounts of time on an increasing number of tasks. One could consider this the ultimate progression toward the ideal state of productivity — our per-task time is approaching zero, allowing us to, in theory, perform a seemingly infinite number of tasks. Yet we have to question whether these advances are leading to a more satisfying existence. Do we not ache inside for something … simpler?
