ABSTRACT

What is it about ICT and its features that affects the way we live and work? Take Nick Breems’ recorded experience (c.f. §6-3.7):

Feeling unengaged in the blog writing, you switch to a new browser window, navigate to a game site and play an online version of the old dice game Yahtzee. An hour later, you are still playing, trying to better your high-score, and feel guilty about the waste of time. No matter how mightily you steel your will to the contrary, and no matter the feelings of guilt and stress that result, this kind of online procrastination continually sneaks into your life and disrupts your productivity.
