Jeg syntes faktisk at det er noget man hører mere og mere. "nej jeg kan ikke være på facebook når jeg arbejder", "min arbejdsgiver har lukket for adgangen til twitter". etc. etc. Hvilket egentlig er ligesom at sige, som virksomhed at man ikke har lyst til at deltage i den globale økonomi. Og jo jeg kan godt forstå at man ikke skal sidde og chatte med vennerne i arbejdstiden. Ligesom man ikke skal bruge 2 timer dagligt på at ryge cigaretter eller hænge ud ved kaffemaskinen. Denne video illustrerer meget godt hvad vi kan forvente os af fremtidens landskab for virksomheder og for efterspørgslen:
Så kunne man spørge sig selv om, man ikke istedet for at lukke af for adgangen skulle lave retningslinjer og politikker for, hvad det er at man må bruge de sociale medier til i arbejdstiden ?
