You make some good points and I strongly agree we need to move away from the old fashioned factory worker mindset.
I watched a TED talk recently discussing that this is a symptom of the education system. Modern education is designed to create these so called 'factory workers' who switch on at 9am and off at 5pm. That kills the creative side of people, something that is vital for knowledge workers.
I think this is the talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_crea...

- eli_gottlieb 14y agoEducation system my ass. It's a symptom of managerial capitalism, a system that simply doesn't trust anyone employed in wage-labor to produce anything without being watched. Admittedly, this is because for most of history, wage-labor has been a degrading, dehumanizing and overall unpleasant existence.
