The excerpt is from the hyperlink I posted It's an opinion/editorial page. I believe the focus is on use of online media in the workplace. While online access can make life easier, it also tends to encourage work (or, to quote Dobie Gillis, "WORK?!?") after hours. For example, the place where I work is devoting a lot of resources to making things available online--customer records, business e-mail access, business documents, databases, etc. It makes it convenient if you're out of the office but also may lead to people spending time at home linked to the office...the workplace leeching its way into the home. Or, if you're on the road, time "after hours" spent linked to the company stuff. Another aspect: With more discourse occurring online, with an often more terse and pointed manner, one argument is that manner of exchange (terse) may influence RW communications.
