1 in 5 of us spend between 2 to 10 hours per week working from bed.五分之一的人每周在床上工作2-10小时。 There was an interesting article by Sue Shellenberger in The Wall Street Journal last year about the increasing amount of work being performed in bed. It has a lot to say about several things, including the increasingly international nature of even small business, as well as physical health and implications of omnipresent technology for personal relationships.刊登在去年一份《华尔街日报》上的苏谢林博格的文章,独到地关注了越来越多的人在床上完成工作这一趋势。这一趋势的形成因素屈指难数,涵盖了商务信息化的加速、个人身体健康以及无所不在的电子科技发展对人际关系的影响等等诸多方面。 Ms. Shellenberger reports, Researchers who study work habits say a new generation reared on mobile devices is increasingly accustomed to using them while propped against pillows, lying down, or in a fetal curl. For example, 500 workers out of1000 polled by Good Technology, a mobile-security software company, say they read and respond to business email from bed. Another study of British workers discovered one in five employees spends between two and ten hours per week working from bed. Or, annecdotally, take Laura Stack, a Denver productivity expert, who has seen a doubling of clients who work from the sleep space.谢林博格女士提出靠在枕头上、躺着、甚至播放胎儿曲......研究人们工作行为的学者指出当今这一代人愈发地依赖移动设备。举个例子,1000个博谷科技的员工中有半数人称自己会在床上收发商务信函。另一项研究指出五分之一的英国员工一周会花2-10小时在床上办公。或是一个更有趣的例子,劳拉斯黛珂,丹弗的生产专家,了解到大多数客户是在卧室完成工作。 |
