And being efficient in today's world is to be on 24/7. Things happen so fast that turning away from your e-mail or phone could be detrimental. I would take it one step further and say that you no longer have a choice to turn off your phone/e-mail. The standard has been set - when an -email is sent to you, the sender (boss, co worker, etc.) expects you to respond. How many times have you heard someone say, "Well, I sent her an e-mail this weekend abou it....". You can blame people like the aforementioned 24/7 Mind for keeping us up with them. The only silver lining is that the current condition makes it even more important that you enjoy what you do - because you'll be doing it ALL THE TIME.

Since then our communication expectations have grown to the point that we seek immediate responses at all times based on unlimited connectivity. While my personal preference is heavily biased towards the wilderness and pine nuts solution, my guess is that it all depends on whether you live to work or work to live.

However, as a "Millennial Nut" I've known no other way of working. Now (since I am the classic Millennial), I'm living at home with my parents (eek) I hear my 17 year old brother tapping away at his Blackberry. Presumably he'll be even more connected all of the time than I am - wonder what that world will be like? Perhaps the perfect Renn world of 24/7 connectivity. I think it’s almost a sickness for me.

Your notion of "joy" at seeing an email from one of your employees late night is downright despotic. And how do you feel if it's a leisurely Saturday afternoon and you get an irritating work related email that could have easily waited until Monday? By the way, your Open 24 hours photo looks like its from an adult shop. I would tend to agree that being on all the time isn’t that big of a deal, but you do have to shut it down once in awhile.
