Great news for all diligent web-surfers, I mean office workers, here.
Check it out: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Google are good for you and increase productivity in the office:
Study author Brent Coker, from the department of management and marketing, said “workplace Internet leisure browsing,” or WILB, helped to sharpened workers’ concentration.“People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration,” Coker said on the university’s website http://www.unimelb.edu.au/.
Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total net concentration for a days’ work, and as a result, increased productivity,” he said.
Apparently this is the first in a shocking new series of research developments. Next up, “The three Martini lunch: Why your father was smarter than you” and the corollary report “What the hell were we supposed to do without an Internet?” Other reports will include the controversial “Supersize it! Why your workouts are killing you” and “Meth is cheaper, and less tacky, than Botox!”
