Email is a time waster in India too.

According to the Times of India, dealing with emails problems wastes time in india too.

It has found that on an average, an employee spends 14.5 hours a week reading and responding to email.

"That is over two hours a day just reading and replying to your emails,'' said Sharon.

She further added that workers were not ''time managing'' now. She pointed out that before the introduction of email, employees would collect the daily mail from their pigeonhole, and may be the morning mail used to contain internal memos.

"You sorted thorough that mail, worked out what was the priority and what was not important. That was effective management of communication, and we did it well,'' she said.

Of course this is nothing new for anyone who's used email in a corporate environment with it's firewalls, filters and system administrators.
