Today in class I read a article by Mike Elgan called Work Ethic 2.0: Attention Control. He talked about how a few years ago people used to work hard beacause it was it own reward, beacause there parents told there children that it will help them become a better person. He talked about how ever since the computers were invented hard work was becoming less important to successful work ethic than another more useful value called attention. He talks about how distractions effect are productivity and people can never do the work if there checking facebook, IM, email and blogs will doing there work. He also talks about how many peolpe are playing and doing work and callling it work overall, and how things like shopping, videos, and socializing are just one click away, and also how kids are growing up with TVs, computers, and vidoe games and there losing good values such as hard work.

I think that everything that Mike Elgan says is true because sometimes I find myself going on Facebook, MSN, and watching music videos and finding myself distracted and not being able to finish my work. Mike Elgan says that "distractions mask the toll they take on productivity" and that is true because if there wasn't any distractions people would finish there work and not find there selfs multi tasking and basically what he is saying is that the more distractions out there in the world the more are productivity drops.
