Interesting news bit of the day: Workers report that they get about two-thirds of their job done during a given day down from three-fourths reported in 1994, and guess who they’re blaming? Technology.

“Technology has sped everything up and, by speeding everything up, it’s slowed everything down, paradoxically,” said John Challenger, chief executive of Chicago-based outplacement consultants Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
“We never concentrate on one task anymore,” Challenger said. “You take a little chip out of it, and then you’re on to the next thing. It’s harder to feel like you’re accomplishing something.”

Oh, yeah? Personally, I think it’s more about how people don’t know how to efficiently equip technology to maximize their own productivity. [Wired]

So after reading that little bit of news, I came upon these awesome Space Invaders decals from wall graphics company Blik (and the man in the picture is wasting his time in retro-tech gaming style minus the technolog, I love it!)

Ahh… just looking at this is sending up memories of fighting with the Atari controllers to save my missile base from the invaders. Available in several colors, you can buy a pack of eight of these stick-on invaders along with the missile base that will totally put transform the mood in any room into a retro feel. [Gizmodo]
