||| Google And Intel Give Staff Break From Email
||| -----------------------------------------------------
||| Having designed email in the first place, Google and Intel have now
||| realised just how annoying email can be and have come up with ways
||| to protect staff from information overload. Google has developed a
||| system which turns off the email for up to 15 minutes at a time and
||| Intel has introduced 'no email' Fridays and email free Tuesday
||| mornings. Both firms say productivity has increased without the
||| constant interruption of email. For more information visit:

Another symptom of the breakdown in society.  People should be taught self
discipline and how to manage their time, not provided with technological
solutions to their own failings.
