“It’s far too rarely stated that the technology industry is not in the business of making people productive. It is only in the business of selling more technology.”
― Mark Hurst, Bit Literacy: Productivity in the Age of Information and E-mail Overload
― Mark Hurst, Bit Literacy: Productivity in the Age of Information and E-mail Overload
“The overload makes users less productive and more stressed; thus, there’s a need for some solution. Passively ignoring the problem won’t work, since bits are still heavy, even if we pretend not to notice.”
― Mark Hurst, Bit Literacy: Productivity in the Age of Information and E-mail Overload
― Mark Hurst, Bit Literacy: Productivity in the Age of Information and E-mail Overload
“Bits have unique properties, then, that we can use to our advantage: they’re super-small, super-fast, easily acquired and created and copied and shared in near-infinite quantity, protected from the ravages of time, and free from the limitations of distance and space. In practice, though, bits reveal several paradoxes: they’re weightless, but they weigh us down; they don’t take up any space, but they always seem to pile up; they’re created in an instant, but they can last forever; they move quickly, but they can waste our time.”
