Technology Is A Thief Information technology was deemed a hero. It was meant to save the world from the daily grind of office tasks. CEOs could have more time to focus on decisions and making more profit. But IT became a master and we, its slaves. It took a huge lot of our precious time. The Cost. How much do you spend sending and reading emails? Figures from the United States reflect that working on emails, texting, as well as social media interaction can cost a company like Intel $1 billion annually. This type of behavior in 2010 was also expensive for the US economy – a whopping $997 billion. People switch activities frequently because of electronic intrusions. They have to deal with two tasks – focusing on an email or a text message and then going back to their primary task. A US firm did research on this. In a group of 35 managers, engineers, and project leaders, these people were able to spend three minutes on their main task before an electronic intrusion takes their focus away for more than two minutes. These intrusions are a big drain on productivity that affects all office workers and executives in Australia and the rest of the world. The Solution. Onehalf can fix this problem in the office.
