The Tyranny Of E-mail
‘In 2009, the average office worker will spend forty-one per cent of her day reading and responding to e-mails. Freeman makes a persuasive case that e-mail has at once corroded epistolary communication and strangled workplace productivity. He returns several times to the fact that “the average office worker sends and receives two-hundred e-mails a day,” making us a “workforce of reactors” rather than performers.’
John Freeman: ‘The Tyranny Of E-mail’, via The New Yorker (HT Daria)
