Does all this technology make us more productive?

The problem with all forms of digital technology, including Internet,  smartphones,  texting, email, and all forms of digital media communication, is that they eat and waste a lot of time. There are productivity loss estimates as high as 3 hours spent every work day on non-work related online activities. Add this to glitches and technical problems associated with using our technology and one can see how easy it is to waste time. As well, we all experience a sense of time distortion or dissociation when online–we loose track of time and space. We are incapable of not spending more time online than we think we are spending.
