» Calendar Quirks: How people use personal calendars · Cognitive Daily
I would have been curious what distribution across demographics and psychographics uses social calendars. Merely replacing paper with computers without adopting innovations offered by the technology kinda misses the point. Most electronic and online calendars let users collaborate to set up meetings, but few people now share their calendars so software agents can suggest dates and schedule meetings. Instead, they propose dates via e mail through multiple round robins of okay and not okay. That gains hardly any productivity and maybe even hurts it. I suspect most people would prefer their computer work for them than to work for their computer.
