Forget Multi-tasking

Study Shows Those who Type Don't Listen - Seite 2

The greatest risk of leaving a conversation entirely in the memory of a digital device is that this information is vulnerable to loss, theft or cyber-attack; in which case the record could be lost forever.

"There may be increasing tolerance in the workplace for people having to check their devices for details, but few will appreciate having to hold a meeting for a second time as people can't remember what was said. Digital Amnesia in the workplace represents a risk - but also an opportunity. It reminds us that devices and people work best when they work in partnership, one capturing the facts, the other the feelings that give them meaning. Protecting all devices that are used to support memories and understanding should be a priority for businesses of all sizes and in all sectors," said David Emm, principal security researcher at Kaspersky Lab.
