The ramifications of having access to information at all times……
Personally, thinking about this brings on a slight level of anxiety. I think the French government are spot on with establishing a policy that limits contact for employees during specific times.
Time and again I have heard of work related burn-out problems in society. The mind also needs to switch off.
Don’t get me wrong. The fact that I can find out an answer pretty instantly to almost anything benefits me in my role as a teacher as well being very convenient as my everyday life. I love having access to information at my fingertips MOST of the time. I have to remind myself that I don’t always need to google the answer to a thought in my head though! The reliance is getting too much.
