Removing Popcorn Butter Stains

multitasking is not productive

digital technologies that allow us to do many things at once: read email, chat, edit Word files, searching google, music, etc. Would tell what it is supposed, is that working this way is slow to do things one by one. In the interest of efficiency, it is best to do one thing at a time, concludes a study by the University of Michigan.

other hand, companies like Microsoft and HP are jointly investigating sensors and intelligent software that will act as "watchdogs of time" for workers. That is, the problem that technology has brought us what we intend to solve with more technology, instead of acting like sensible beings capable of regulating their use of tencologĂ­a so as not to interfere excessively in their productivity. A typical example of technological determinism, which relies on technology as a way to solve problems.
