KC Burgess Yakemovic suggests that computerization of the workplace may have increased the workload. Personally, I wonder if the computerization of society is not just more fun, and therefore we willingly take on a somewhat expanded concept of what is or is not work (not work-without-pay necessarily, but work-with- heart work-as-pleasure if not even work-as-leisure!). I for one write an enormous volume of mail by computer, far surpassing anything I would have dreamed personally possible using typed letter+stamp +postal service. Excitingly, the process of communications between myself and those with whom I correspond is also rapidly escalating, with the speed of turn-around time between communications by email being so quick! Is this just work or work-as-excitement or work-as-fun! No wonder we are working more, if we are enjoying our work more! Melcir
