Summary: According to an Australian study, browsing on Facebook or caught Twittering will make you a better employee. Author Brent Coker,a department of management and marketing executive, said “workplace internet leisure browsing helped to sharpened workers' concentration." Coker thinks if you have a short break, like having a quick surf on the internet, it will help the mind rest, and lead to a higher net concentration, and an increased productivity. The study only looked at people who browsed in moderation; however Coker said “those who behave with Internet addiction tendencies will have a lower productivity than those without.”
Analysis: I think the article is newsworthy because it informs people how others work who take breaks and surf the internet. I think the article was written from the view of the author. The article is just stating the positives on the story and it’s not reflecting nor did a study on the people who don’t surf the net while at work. The article doesn’t have any opinions or comments from people who actually surf the while at work and from those who don’t.
