10 years ago, I remember writing about, shock horror, how email was costing the workplace fortunes in lost time because employees were using it to flirt online. Now everybody takes it for granted. Today’s 20 somethings cannot fathom arranging their sex life without the use of electronic aids (the virtual aids, as opposed to the manual ones).

Doubtless people fritter away hours and hours on things like Twitter and Facebook over the year. However, we also fritter away hours and hours on fruitless searches on Google et al. Currently, 52% of searches we make don’t produce what we want and we have to search again (wasting more productive time). Spending time on Twitter, Facebook, Google etc all take us away from working time and it would be possible to calculate the apparent “loss”. But what this survey does not seem to do is take into account the gain that Twitter provides in terms of reaching a marketplace at lower costs. As always, there is another side to the story to consider.
