In praise of always-on connectivity: "Contrary to popular opinion, always-on connectivity isn't eliminating our social lives. In fact, it's giving us more time to do the things we've missed whilst stuck in the 9-to-5 grind..."
In theory, always on connectivity does enable the potential for the lifestyle the author notes. I'm not convinced that things will actually unfold that way. More than likely, we will use constant connectivity to "get more done". Reflection and down-time (key elements for effective learning) are fading elements in our society.
