Scientists have come to the conclusion that modern means of communication increase working hours. It would seem that you can contact anywhere in the world in a minute, or even less. But... telecommunications are blurring the line between working and free time, between office space and a relaxed home environment. Moreover, employees working at home devote five or even seven hours more to work than those people whose working day is spent in the office.

The working week is getting longer
For constantly busy people, telecommunications have become the most important feature of the modern world. It would seem that there is no need to hurry anywhere, I picked up the phone and called. At first glance, this simplifies the work and saves time. But only at first glance. Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin conducted a study during which they found out that it is modern means of communication that increase the working day of freelancers.

Sociologist Professor Jennifer Glass notes that the working week of those 30% of respondents who work at home is five or even seven hours longer than that of office workers. Freelancers are less likely to meet the standard forty-hour work week and are more likely than their office colleagues to work overtime.

In the course of the study, data for 1979 were raised. Jennifer Glass and her colleague, associate Professor of sociology at the University of Iowa Mary Noonan (Mary Noonan) traced the changes that have occurred over the years.

As a result, it turned out that telecommunications blurred the line between working and free time. Those employees whose work is related to technology note that modern means of communication have increased the time that their work takes away from them. Even while on vacation or on sick leave, an employee does not cease to be involved in the labor process. Email keeps him in touch at all times.

Recently, the popularity of freelancing has been growing, that is, work that can be done without leaving home. Special preference is given to her by parents of young children who need constant supervision. Another category of employees who prefer a free schedule are specialists who have a certain authority and status and are able to plan their own work schedule.

Thus, it turns out that, on the one hand, telecommunications create conditions under which a person can be with his family almost constantly. But there is another side. A freelancer is never completely free: they can always call or write to him.

At home, but away from family
It turns out a paradoxical situation. The ability not to go to the office does not eliminate the eternal conflict between family and work. Moreover, the most annoying thing is that even being at home, a person cannot devote time to family.

Once again, humanity is faced with the fact that new technical means do not free up time, but, on the contrary, take it away even more than before. At the dawn of the appearance of cell phones, some people did not want to get them, so as not to be "always found".

A person needs to be with family and friends and alone with himself, too. And at the same time, it is important to know that no one will bother you at such hours. Today, every first person has a mobile connection, and many also have mobile Internet. Convenient and very useful things. But even these things, originally created in order to make human life more comfortable, civilization puts at the service of its inexorable rhythm.

Phones and computers successfully solve old problems, but at the same time set new ones. There is no doubt that even more convenient and advanced means of communication will appear over time. But what can people expect from them? Reduction or increase in working hours? A lot is in human power, but people are not given to increase the duration of the day for a moment. Therefore, it remains only to learn how to plan your time. Cómo usar y desbloquear el bono de registro 1xBet para apuestas deportivas en línea. Reciba su CÓDIGO DE BONO 1xBet para sus apuestas.
