The internet has had an incredible effect on the efficiency of church work. Family history work in particular has had a huge boost. It's much easier for people to split the work for a single line because the church has created a single family tree and collaboration between people has become much easier. It's now potentially possible to do in 15 minutes what used to take 100 hours of research, and it's much more likely no one else is spending the same amount of time on the exact same question. But along with the productivity boost, the internet has even more potential for distraction. We can now be more productive than any other time in history, or we can be the most distracted. Technology has actually provided an opportunity to be both, but this would still be a waste of potential.
