People now a days tend to believe that they are good at multi-tasking as a result everyone used to carry their smart phones with them. If anyone by chance slips it or forgot to carry his/her smart phone along, it becomes difficult for them to pass the rest of the time.
I remember back in 2004, there were many companies, which were not allowing you with the camera phones to enter into their premises. Since at that moment, even the simple phone was a luxury to have and many new mobile phone users were tend to show it off, were remain tensed by not having their phones with them.
Even today, there are many places where you can not go with your smart phone. Since people are so used to with the smart phone, that if they don’t have it, they feel incomplete.
I believe, initially it does have an impact over the quality productivity of anyone who is carrying his/her smart phone with them. Why?
Lets take an example:
Now a days everyone shares quick video clips, images or messages. Assume how much time one is spending for a 30 second video clip.
First they need to download it, it may take may be another few seconds, then you tend to watch it, alright few more seconds spent, now few of us tend to share it with many, another minute or seconds gone.
Post watching that clip, since our mind is very active, we intentionally or unintentionally think about it, now that’s a slow poison. Some come out from that thought quickly and some remains in the clip for a while.
Since the mind get diverted, there are chances of on time delivery, quality output and performance degradation.
On the other hand if we consider the same scenario for a person without having a smart phone, will have ample amount of time to connect himself with the office and the project.
Then there is a possibility that the quality will improve and he/she can more concentrate over the process and personality.
