In 1997 and again two weeks ago, we asked you this question:
What is your best estimate of the amount of time you spend actively using your computer during a typical day of work?
Not surprisingly, computer use among TechnoLawyer members has increased since 1997. Back then, only 19% of you used your computer for more than 6 hours/day. Now, nearly half of you do so. See below for the complete results.
Results: 1997 / 2006
< 1 Hour: 0% / 0%
1-2 Hours: 19% / 2%
2-3 Hours: 3% / 5%
3-5 Hours: 32% / 23%
5-6 Hours: 26% / 24%
> 6 Hours: 19% / 46%
Has this increased usage resulted in great productivity?
