Thank you Robert. It's a profound insight into modern life and workplace.

I especially liked the "do not Google yourself." I've seen and heard of so many people who do this as a sort of automatic response, some do it regularly, perhaps daily.

I suppose most of that type of task in the list, is related to our need for validation; to be heard, noticed and recognised for who we are and what we do/have done.

We seldom had the need on this level, (narcissists excepted,) when friends, colleagues and customers meant a form of face to face connection, and I don't mean Facebook. Dinner around the table being reserved for special occasions for example, as families SMS or Twitter one another instead.

I wonder, does this mean that the internet age has created a far less effective human race? All hyperbole and shallow justification, as opposed to depth and quality? Are we all turning into unproductive narcissists, instead of gifted craftsmen/women?

The answer is "Probably.... yes!"
