Too Much Information

The world is changing drastically.

Every minute is loading a pile of pages over the shelves of history. Tons of megabytes are uploading over data servers every minute in the form of blogs, research, and multimedia content.

Any well-known event from a technology giant automatically reserves your one or two hours from your daily routine, plus advance booking of your weekend’s leisure.

My iTunes is showing me downloaded videos of WWDC12. Some of them have been gone through, and some are pending for the weekend. iOS6 features and developer APIs are requiring my full attention as they are directly linked to my core job.

And all these efforts are other than your routine job assignments and tasks. We also have to find time for family, for our friends and loved ones, for our hobbies, and for some sports/workouts. You must need to find sometime for yourself too. There are many stakeholders of your time, and you have to divide pies of your clock wisely.

And it directly hit our job security and career, you know very well. (:

In order to keep you updated, how much time do you spend in front of a rectangular screen? Either of your notebook, your handset, and/or a tablet device you have
