Events since 2003 have reinforced Nielsen’s conclusions. According to a recent report from Basex, the average “knowledge worker” – someone who is part of the growing information economy – loses 2.1 hours a day to interruptions associated with multitasking. If those workers make an average of $21 an hour, that adds up to $588 billion a year, more than the gross domestic product of Argentina (ABCNews.com, 2005). Another recent study found knowledge workers experienced interruptions approximately once every 10 minutes and it took an average of 23 minutes for them to return to their original task. With knowledge overload and turbulent environments, individuals confront multiple demands for their attention.
