Overview
Ah, that's the paradox. With technology allowing us to perform tasks much faster, we thought we'd all be finishing work by 11am and going off to play golf for the rest of the day. Instead, we've ended up with more tasks to do - the workload has increased to fill up the time available. And, thanks to e-mail and mobile technology, people are available 24/7. According to American sociologist Dalton Conley, work and leisure have been drifting together like tectonic plates since the baby boom years of the 1950s. In his book, Elsewhere USA, Conley claims that changes in the economy, the family and technology since the 1950s have given rise to \"intraviduals\", a new breed of professionals who are not only juggling multiple demands on their attention from all kinds of outside stimuli, but are also juggling multiple selves, thanks to the number of roles they have to play in their lives.
