“Hourglass Syndrome” On PCs Causes Stress

Do you suffer from “Hourglass Syndrome” while using your computer?
Even though this is a joke for marketing Intel products (and to get people to upgrade their machines), MSNBC decided to pick this up and run with it as as a serious news item. The angle played is that the so-called Hourglass Syndrome causes stress. Intel commissioned a study led by Harris to gather data about how long people have to wait for their computers to catch up with their activities.
“We found that 41 percent of adults said they are waiting for the computer to catch up with them and they are stressing out while waiting,” says Intel’s Agnes Kwan.
Could it be that the problem is not related to Intel, but the amalgamation of software that is running on Intel based machines? I’m not going to point any fingers, but I think that may be the true culprit for computers being so slow.
