Why The Web Is Hitting A Wall

Why The Web Is Hitting A Wall

Not John W. Rogers Jr. The CEO of Ariel Capital Management LLC doesn’t use the Internet at work or at home. The 47-year-old Princeton University grad thinks the Net is largely a waste of time. Assistants print out e-mails for him and researchers give him paper copies of Wall Street analysts reports from the Web. He prefers to spend his time reading, talking directly with his staff, working out at the gym, or spending time with his teenage daughter. “If you’re spending all your time on e-mail, you’re not listening and reading,” says Rogers, who rarely took lecture notes while he was a student so he could listen more intently. “I listen and read; e-mail is a huge distraction.”

Very good article that leaves me wanting more. It does a good job of showing that there are reasons why one might not want to have the internet at home. But there are bigger reasons. We are at the point where there are not “technology” barriers, but barriers for other reasons. But that is more in line with my other Blog, Success in Balance so I guess I need to scoot over there and make a post…link.
