Study reveals technology turn-off

New research in Scotland has suggested that people find the new technology of hand held computers to be more of a hindrance than a help.

One in seven people hate to be able to be contacted around the clock. People say that this is more the generation of the older people but actually the people who feel this way are the ipod generation that find it to be more of a hindrance. They semi-older people say that it has helped them to do their jobs better and the people of 55 like the technology and find it to be interesting.

I think that this is interesting because the ipod generation of people are also the age of the people who created the ipod and you would think that they wanted the technology so they would be more apt to think that it is helpful to them but apparently not.

I also hate that I can be contacted around the clock. It gets annoying after a while.
