(1) The Eggbeater Effect: How Time-Saving Technology Just Makes For More Work by Tara McMullin (14 mins)

• Time-saving technologies like eggbeaters and mixers lead to higher productivity expectations, resulting in more tasks rather than less work.

• Historian Ruth Schwartz Cowan argues that despite the invention of labor-saving devices, household work didn't become less tiring or time-consuming in the 19th century.

(3) The Definition of Knowledge and Its Management by flomo college (3 mins)

• Knowledge is a critical human resource that is characterized by being powerful, fluid, and fragmented, and requires active management to capture, distribute, and utilize it effectively within an organization.

• Knowledge management is essential in the information age, allowing for competitive advantage and better decision-making, involving not just organizations but also individuals who need to manage knowledge as a valuable asset for long-term success.

• Knowledge can be categorized by adaptability into general and specialized knowledge, by quality into facts, principles, skills, and human understanding, and by form into explicit and tacit knowledge, each requiring different management approaches.
