Cyber-loafing

CYBER-LOAFING is the act of surfing the Internet on non-work related subjects while you're in the office.
Oh, come on, we all do it. It's the 21st century equivalent of going for a coffee, cigarette or watercooler break, only that you sit at your desk, slack off stealthily on the computer and colleagues around you are none the wiser.

My attention span has shortened because so many temptations are being thrust in my face all day. I flit from one topic to another (as my cyber-loafing diary shows), and I am losing the ability to be patient and to exercise will power and self-control.
Anything I want, I can get it now. Which means that everything I want, I want it now.

Technology has taken away the frustration of waiting. But it has also taken away the thrill of the wait. The rewards of patience, of the slow burn, can also be sweet.



Wow...CYL is guilty of that
