Nearly half of workers say Internet improves productivity - Dan Kedmey, TIME

Nearly half of workers say that the Internet, distractions and all, has improved their productivity at the office, according to a report released last Tuesday. Pew Research Center asked 1,066 Internet users how web access has changed the way they work. Only 7% of respondents blamed the Internet for a decline in productivity, while 46% credited it as an improvement, opening up new paths of communication and extending their workday over longer and more flexible hours. More than one-third of respondents said that round-the-clock Internet access means they now work longer days than they used to. http://fortune.com/2014/12/30/workers-internet-productivity/
