I think technology has changed the holiday for the better. No, I do not mean virtual Santas, shopping on your smartphone from a comfortable sofa or Skyping with your family across the world (although these things are pretty cool). I mean he has changed the way we work for the best. It used to be that we would be completely disconnected from the office during the holiday break. Peaceful, yes, but then we'd often go back to the mountain of emails and voice messages. For me it was quite stressful - knowing how much I had to do when I return to work could curb these last moments of vacation. But now we can be connected anywhere, anytime, from any device, I think my stress has actually declined - I can take a few minutes here and there to respond to urgent emails or answer a question fast, and allow more in- depth programs to fight against when I come back.
You may have seen the recent viral "holiday" picture of a family in matching outfits, all heads down and typing on their phones. Pretty funny and oh so true for many families! But I am not advocating the work of the rent or a family time of interruption of mobile device quality during the holidays. In fact, I would say it might even help to promote more quality time! I am personally looking forward to watching my 10 year old niece and almost 5 years, nephew enjoy the season, and I do not want to miss this. Armed with my iPad, iPhone and Citrix Receiver, I think I will be able to achieve this quite easily
But that's just my opinion -. I'm curious how you will access work (or not) during the holidays. To make it easy on you (and let you enjoy the much hot cocoa with loved ones as possible), we plan to 2012 with one question per day between now and December 30th via Twitter and Facebook. So, take a second and tell us what you think!
