Being an information technology, or IT, worker is not a job I envy. They are the ones who, right in the middle of a critical meeting, are expected to     1    fix the projector that’s no longer working. They have to tolerate the bad tempers of colleagues     2    at the number of times they’ve had to call the help desk for the same issue. They are also the ones who know there are systems that are more powerful, reliable and faster, but their employer simply will not put up the funds to buy them.

According to a recent survey, employees who have a job reliant on IT support consider IT a major source of job dissatisfaction. Though no     3    of their own, they can suddenly find their productivity deteriorating or quality control     4    . And there’s little they can do about it.

The experience of using IT penetrates( 渗 透 ) almost the entire work field. It has become a crucial part of employees’ overall work experience. When IT is operating as it should, employee self-confidence swells. Their job satisfaction, too, can       5    when well-functioning machines relieve them of dull tasks or     6    processes. But if there’s one thing that triggers widespread employee frustration, it’s an IT transformation project gone wrong, where     7    -expectations have been popped and a long list of promised efficiencies have been reversed. This occurs when business leaders implement IT initiatives with little     8    of how those changes will impact the end user, which is why managers should appreciate just how influential the IT user experience is to their employees, and exert substantial effort in ensuring their IT team eliminates programming errors and     9    crashes. Adequate and     10    IT support should also be available to enable users to cope with technological issues at work. More importantly, IT practitioners need to understand what employees experience mentally when they use IT.

Therefore, businesses need to set up their IT infrastructure so that it is designed to fit in with their employees’ work, rather than adjust their wok to fit in with the company’s IT limitations.

Designing an exhibition is a vast understanding. It is a complex and demanding activity of making     1     accessible through means of interpretation and translation. It requires the conscious arrangement of many parts, both     2     and moving, necessary in creating meaningful experiences for visitors in physical spaces. The exhibition begins with a story to tell, a lesson to teach or a collection of artifacts or artworks to     3    . In other words, an exhibition is intended to inform, to educate or to entertain. Some exhibitions are meant to encourage thinking.

Exhibition design involves the process of finding appropriate form and expression for any content. However, the process of bringing any project to reality requires the work of many     4       from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise. This process typically requires a good     5     of competing interests, ideas and opinions held by participants. These include curators (馆长), educators, architects, content developers, graphic(图画的)designers and exhibition designers.

All exhibitions, regardless of topic, share the inherent dialectics(内在联系) between the     6     of the presenter and the experiences of the viewers. Who is displaying what and for whom? Exhibitions provide the bones for learning, exploring and interacting. They take visitors on journey and near and far---making the inaccessible accessible, and the commonplace     7    .

The basic building blocks of an exhibition are five ----artifacts, words, physical design, graphic design and lightning. Many exhibitions, of course, have additional, often very significant component---audio, video, mechanical and computer interaction, live actors etc. Of course, graphic design---often primarily typography(文字印刷)---is the carrier and transmitter. Through typography the words have a     8     presence and through the words the concept of the exhibition and the interpretation of the artifacts are expressed most     9    .

Visitors come to an exhibition, often like foreigners in a new land, not knowing what to     10    . Words, conveyed through typography, are their tools and maps for understanding. The typography and the texts must be attracting at the beginning and throughout the exhibition.

It Doesn’t Have to be Crazy at Work

How often have you heard someone say “It’s crazy at work”? Maybe you’ve even said it yourself. For many, “It’s crazy at work” has become their normal. But why so crazy?

There are two primary reasons: (1) The workday is being sliced into tiny, fleeting work moments by an onslaught of physical and virtual     1    .   (2)And an unhealthy obsession with growth at any cost set     2    , unrealistic expectations that stress people out.

It’s no wonder people are working longer, earlier, later, on weekends, and whenever they have a(n)     3     moment. That turns life into work’s left-overs. The doggie bag.

What’s worse is that long hours,     4     busyness, and lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for many people these days. Sustained exhaustion is not a badge of honor. Instead, it’s a(n)     5     of a physical and mental breakdown.

Besides, everyone’s talking about how to     6     productivity these days. There’s an endless stream of methodologies and tools promising to make people more productive. But more productive at what?

Productivity is for machines, not for people. There’s nothing meaningful about     7     some number of work units into some amount of time or squeezing more into less. Machines can     8     work 24/7, but humans can’t.

When people focus on productivity, they end up focusing on being busy. Filling every moment with something to do. And there’s always more to do!

But we should not believe in busyness. We should believe in effectiveness. How little can we do? How much can we cut out? Instead of adding to-dos, we add to-don’ts.

Being productive is about occupying your time - filling your schedule to the brim and getting as much done as you can. Being effective is about finding more of your time unoccupied and     9     for other things besides work. Time for leisure, time for family and friends. Or time for doing absolutely nothing.

Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to have nothing to do. Or, better yet, nothing worth doing. If you’ve only got three hours of work to do on a given day, then stop. Don’t fill your day with five more just to stay busy or feel productive. Not doing something that is     10     worth doing is a wonderful way to spend your time.

Workforce of the Future

The workplace is changing rapidly. Rather than the standard working day of nine to five, employees are working more flexibly to meet their busy home lives. Advances in technology are     1     the very nature of the tasks and skills required in the workplace.

To gain a full perspective of how the workplace is set to change over the next decade, employee benefits provider Unum UK     2     with The Future Laboratory to survey 3,000 workers across several industries. They also interviewed industry experts and business leaders on topics from artificial intelligence and robotics to the increase of flexible working and an ageing workforce.

The result outlines some of the employment changes that businesses can expect to see over the next decade and predicts the     3     of two worker cultures which will dominate the workforce. They are the obligated and the self-fulfilled workers.

“Obligated workers” refer to people with dependents and the sandwich generation,     4     raising children with caring for elderly parents. Therefore, they value a career     5     to life stages and events and financial security. Joel Defries, 33, father of one kid and partner at London Vodka said, “A flexible employer will allow me to have a long paternity leave (陪产假) and to value my family just as much as I value my job.”

Self-fulfilled workers are committed to life-long learning and acquiring new skills rather than     6     to an employer. They actively look for personal development and want employee benefits that help them     7     both their personal and professional ambitions. They treat personal commitments and pursuits as     8     to professional commitments. Elly Kemp, 31,     9     a full-time employee, now working part-time in a caféand also assisting with her grandmother’s care said, “My approach to work allows me the freedom to     10     my career at my own pace. I want my work to be fluid so I can change it when I want and do whatever makes me happy at the time.”
