- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -1/+8Second Life is "web 2.0"? Count me in on the crusade to kill this god awful buzzword
- Grimdotdotdot, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5Seven devices and nine applications? Is that all?
Seriously, 75% of the people on here will be 'hyperconnected'. I've got four things (five if you count the PSP in my bag) on my desk right now. - inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5Digg desperately needs a "no *****" option for burying.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+47 devices? i cant think of 7 different devices i would need. everything i need to do can be done on either my phone, pc or laptop. i could see someone throwing in a psp or ds to make 4 gadgets you would need, but 7?
- ubhe, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4why we gotta go and makeup a name for everything and invent obscure laws that don't mean anything.
- MiddleOfNowhere, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3In a worldwide study sponsored by a manufacturer of telecommunications and network equipment, we learn that "employers will need to make accommodations [read: buy their *****] for the new wave of hyperconnected persons".
Well. Who would have thought? - mahler, on 05/15/2008, -1/+5I think being 'hyperconnected' is usually a sign of not being organised or efficient. Many devices have redundant functionality and you can often drop 2 devices and get 1 that has both functions. A well organised worker is able to find the these devices and therefor has all the tools he needs on as little amount of devices possible. Example: You need a workphone and a personal phone? Get a phone that supports 2 sim-cards.
- ncredblstrength, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I thought I was ADHD/OCD... turns out I'm just hyperconnected...
- ileftfark, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3In related news, kids joining the workforce are shocked to find employers frown upon the use of Second Life, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc on company time. "But we're *hyperconnected*! Didn't you read about us on infoworld???"
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2You'd be surprised at how nonexistent these devices still are, though. Many of us hoped the iPhone would deliver, but sadly it still doesn't currently provide the functionality we enjoyed on our 8 MB Palm devices 10 years ago. No task list, no memos with categories, no way to add contacts with categories... really the only thing working completely right now is the calendar. And the E-mail support is abysmal.
Consumers can take some of the blame for accepting the ***** excuses from companies like Motorola. Look at their crappy phones: 32 MB of memory, but no goddamned ADDRESSES in the contact list. WTF? And no tasks or memos. And piss-poor, totally unusable syncing software for the few data that the phones do handle.
"Oh, " say the apologists, "you need a SMARTPHONE for stuff like that."
"Oh yeah," says the discriminating consumer, "*****." And that's why we finally see Motorola where it is today, in deep *****, trying to unload its pathetic mobile-phone division. - doshindude, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2it didn't die. You obviously haven't seen that Web 3.0 article a few weeks ago..
- mesasone, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1I agree... I only have, and really need, two devices. My PC at home, and my iPhone (substitute other high tech phone). I use two applications... firefox (mail, social networking sites) and Gaim(or, I guess it's called Pidgin now).
What the hell else do you need? With Blackberries and iPhones and such being as advanced as they are, and really quite affordable even if not outright free, I can hardly see the need for many more devices. I guess I just lost my geek cred. - inactive, on 05/15/2008, -2/+3OK, if you're old enough to have a job, you sure as ***** shouldn't be using Facebook. Get over it.
- goerg, on 05/15/2008, -4/+590% if the diggers are hyperconnected, aren't they?
- anshuman, on 05/15/2008, -1/+2my remote job requires me to be mandartorily hyperconnected.
- Rixta, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1I bought the iPhone specifically so I wouldn't have so many devices...I'm trying to consolidate. So instead of an iPod, Crackberry, PDA & cellphone I now just have an iPhone......does that mean I'm going backwards?
Now between my wife & I we have 3 laptops & 3 desktops but they don't count. - saikyan, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Just what we need. Another buzz word.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3This meaningless, ***** term has thankfully largely died. But people persisted in trying to convince us it was real for what seemed like FOREVER.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1dugg for submitting the "print this article" page rather than the lame multi page version with ads
- danlowlite, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1It's called a "Limited Profile."
Run with that little bit of information and be careful! - mindmillionaire, on 05/15/2008, -0/+0That's basically the purpose of internet technology...to make the people throughout world hyperconnected...Thanks for the great people behind the development.
- lucasmaximus, on 05/15/2008, -0/+0Most of my day is spent coding at the PC, however I tend to prefer to have one device for each job. Then again I am the sort of guy who can write code for his PC, but has no idea how to program the channels on my television.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -4/+3you need to commit suicide
- MadHarvey, on 05/15/2008, -1/+0My company uses Teamspace, which serves a similar function on a team basis, rather than individual. Its sort of like a more professional Myspace for teams.
- doshindude, on 05/15/2008, -2/+1if you have a facebook and share it with people you work with, let alone are friends with your boss, you don't deserve to have a job.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -6/+2Girls on my Digg? That's unpossible?
On a side note you look like Anastasia from purepwnage. which is kind of hot.
