Professional techno-blogger - work exhausting to death

Just a unique provocative article published yesterday by the NY Times. The article is dedicated to professional bloggers from the IT sector who sacrifice their personal life and health for their work. They have a terrible, exhausting job, which is accompanied by terrible physical and emotional stress. They are trying to survive around the clock in the boiling information ocean of a crazy online economy, they are typing tens of thousands of characters daily and do not come off the monitor until they fall out of fatigue. The article is called: “In Web World of 24/7 Stress Writers Blog Till They Drop .

The funeral of Russell Shaw, an outstanding tech blogger, took place last week. He died at the age of 60 from a heart attack. In December last year, another techno-blogger Mark Orchant died at the age of 50 from extensive thrombosis. Om Malik, 41, a techno-blogging star, managed to survive a heart attack. Michael Arrington (TechCrunch) has scored about 15 kg over the past three years, almost unable to sleep normally. He turned his house into a 24-hour office for himself and four employees.

Other professional bloggers also suffer from loss or weight gain, headaches, sleep disturbances, exhaustion and other consequences of the crazy rhythm of work. The nature of the Internet makes them work 24 hours a day. It is very important to immediately respond to any informational occasion that may arise unexpectedly. Who works on a soft schedule - just can not stand the competition.
