The Internet: Death of Productivity?

I begin my decent into the blogging underground with a question we already know the answer to... Is the Internet the death of productivity?

For decades the office was symbolic of many things, "work" being numero uno. Slaves to the system, myself a new inductee, would march in formation down death's highway to a box building where they would devote countless hours to the dreams (and bulging pockets) of someone other than themselves.

But today, my friends, is a new day! We have equipped ourselves with a tool, comprised of many tools, which we have titled "The Internet". This tool has born millions of jobs, ideas, solutions and, in theory, has been a single source of mass productivity. However, in this new day and age, our generation has turned this productive tool into the most counterproductive "tool" known to man. Countless hours of company time is now spent not writing reports or useless memo's no one reads, but checking our Facebook pages, Blogs (that'd be us), sports scores, porno, and whatever else we kill time with during our "work" day.

So as I sit here at work, writing this silly blog post, I implore you to ponder this question... "Is the Internet the death of productivity?" I suppose I should get back to looking busy, I need my boss to think I'm working so I can do my ESPN Fantasy Football live draft in a couple hours.
