Laptop Computer Users Work More At Home

Laptops Boost Productivity

A recent Computerworld article noted that employees given laptops log an extra 7 hours of work per week more than employees assigned to desktop computers.

They become “work at home” employees whether it’s company policy or not.

Evidently the proximity of work and the computer blurs the boundaries of work and leisure.

This is good for the companies as productivity rises, but can be bard on the family and – if the worker is salaried – decrease their compensation when viewed in hourly terms.
