Personal Technology: Too Much Is Too Much

Picture your average high flying executive. A fancy, expensive suit, shiny polished shoes, a super sleek notebook, a cell phone and the mandatory "strolley" as he hops from destination to another while going about his business.

He needs his notebook for e-mail, presentations and what not. His cell phone ensures that he is always contactable, day and night. If by sheer bad luck, he has gone globetrotting into a different time zone than the one where he otherwise works, he will be contacted in the oddest possible hours. Sleep? Well, as they say, there is always time for that when you are dead.

Now if you travel 10,000 miles in a given timeslot, attend early morning meetings, skip lunch, have meetings over dinner and finally retire to bed at 1:00 a.m., the last thing you want to see is your notebook, as it downloads the e-mail messages you have missed while you were in a meeting. Simple solution, you switch it off and go to sleep.
