Comments on: Internet Anxiety Disorder Anyone? http://gigaom.com/2005/04/08/internet-anxiety-disorder-anyone/ Trusted Insights and Conversations on the Next Wave of Technology Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:54:58 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Anxiety Montreal Coach http://gigaom.com/2005/04/08/internet-anxiety-disorder-anyone/#comment-981161 Anxiety Montreal Coach Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:26:18 +0000 http://gigaom.wordpress.com/2005/04/08/internet-anxiety-disorder-anyone/#comment-981161 People are always on the go. The funny thing is, many people thought that all these new technologies we have nowadays would have saved us heaps of time. Things have turned out otherwise. Seems like we all have LESS time. I think that people have to watch their time like a hawk, use the 80/20 rule to get the most valuable/impactful tasts done before all the low value tasks are even considered. Always ask yourself the question, ''Am I being productive, or just busy?'' And multi-tasking does create anxiety, no doubt. It also lowers IQ. If you learn how to manage your time well, you can make significant progress WITHOUT all the stress, anxiety and multi-tasking. I agree with taking breaks from the internet and technology. Easier said than done, but worth doing nonetheless. People are always on the go.

Always ask yourself the question, ”Am I being productive, or just busy?”

I agree with taking breaks from the internet and technology. Easier said than done, but worth doing nonetheless.

Some startups have glommed onto this shift as well — for example Qik, Kyte and others, though I hardly think they are the answer. Rather the answer lies with Facebook and to some extent, FriendFeed, both of which are promoting the concept of news feeds of our lives. About three years ago, over a cup of coffee, Narendra Rocherolle, co-founder of Webshots and more recently 30 Boxes, showed me a feature known as the news feed. It was a way to collate information from one’s social network (calendar), and marry it to Flickr photos and other such information. It was essentially Facebook’s News Feed. It was so powerful and so obvious to me, especially considering that I was already dealing with information overload.  [...] [...] The companies that seem to have grasped this notion most effectively are Amazon, Apple and Google.

If everything is not moving fast it seems people have no patience, interest in the product, program, internet or games. I was looking in the closet the other day and found many actual paper books that were left over from the 6 children I have. They have all gone off on their own now but I keep the books as they are a reminder of close and cosy simple times I had with my children and the bond we built as people when we sat together each night and read. Our whole house is still filled with reading material. I believe that the fact that you could pick up something to read at any time helped my children accomplish their reading comprehension and it was fun too. Picking up a book was so natural but I fear the simplicity of this art is slipping away and no one is noticing and soon it will be thought of as "the old way ". My grandchildren have books on the T.V. and the computer. They can sit by themselves and have an animated figure be there as their companion. I know we as humans are intelligent but can we still keep some of the "old ways". Or will we be looking at books in a museum some day when technology has swallowed the paper books we once held so dear.</p> The world has taken off on a technological journey and we will never go back only forward.
