Interviewer:
Now, do you remember when offices looked like this? The patterned carpets, the yellow and purple colour scheme, the kipper ties and big hair, oh and the technology-free desks. There's not a computer smartphone or tablet in sight. Today, the cabinet office will resemble a 1970s office, as civil servants are having an email-free day. Between colleagues. There'll be no tapping on the phone during meetings, sifting through
emails at lunch, or messaging the person sitting next to you. Today will all be about talking to each other face-to-face or on the phone. will that create a
happier work-life balance? Making sure you enjoy the company of your colleagues?
Or just take up more time and make you stay late at work? Well joining me now is Stephen Taylor, an entrepreneur who has recently criticised our alliance on email. Are we obsessed with email, Stephen?
Stephen Taylor
Yes, I think we are indeed obsessed with email. We live in a society that seems to
be obsessed with non-verbal communication. Colleagues sitting next to each other don't want to speak to each other happy to send an email.
