Stress 2.0

with 2 comments

noun: A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from the use of technology.

So, in line with claiming the word whoppachang, I’m also putting dibs on “Stress 2.0″. If there’s Web 2.0 – there has got to be Stress 2.0 associated with it – right?

Call it information overload, or what ever… but technology (mobile phones, computers, games consoles) plays a big factor in generating stresses in our lives.

I tend to jump at every email and IM that pops up as quickly as possible, and work through them like a queue – tending to them one by one, as fastidiously as possible… but this can get draining quickly as you lose concentration on the task at hand; henceforth causing – more stress.

What about you, feeling crushed under the weight of all those unattended emails and IMs?
