Smartphone Part 2

As I was working today I thought more on the guy giving up his Smartphone for the month which lead my mind to wander to the people out there that along with their Smartphone they are texting and twittering and emailing and talking on their cell phones and surfing the web and IMing it makes you wonder how do they get anything done work wise. Just think if each one of those took 10 minutes a hour to do that it would add up to 60 minutes and I know it is all about staying connected and Social networking with customers and others but what about work? If you are spending 60 minutes a hour doing all of the above when does something really get done. Or is work something you do in the evenings and not working and suppose to be relaxing and unplugging or are you stuck in some kind of cruel mindless loop that you can’t figure out how to get out of?  

My mind still thinks back to that commercial where the guy was passing out airline tickets to his group of people that worked for him and they was going to visit everyone of there customers. Where does all of this get you does it really help your business? Or is it another thing that has taken away from your real business. Or does it help you stay connected to the people you are trying to sell to and do business with. I just read a email that our company sends out and on the just for Laughs cartoon that was on there and one office worker was talking to another ” As soon as I Text, IM, Tweet and update my status to Getting right down to it. I will get right down to it. This reminds me of the let’s have a meeting to have a meeting.

Funny that was to come out while I was typing about this.  Hmm a case of Dejavu “Was that the same Black cat or one just like it”

I read a article that had some numbers off a Poll done on which is more important LinkedIn or Twitter and it was some interesting reading. Here read away if you want too. So many questions and so little time.
