"The ubiquity of technology in the lives of executives, other
businesspeople and consumers has created a subculture of the Always On
— and a brewing tension between productivity and freneticism. For all
the efficiency gains that it seemingly provides, the constant stream of
data can interrupt not just dinner and family time, but also meetings
and creative time, and it can prove very tough to turn off."
