Metcalfe s Law states that the value of a telecommunications network increases
exponentially with its size. In the 1970s communications were largely limited
to telephone calls, telexes, and telegrams; on average, executives had to deal
with fewer than 1,000 of them a year from people other than coworkers. That
number rose dramatically as new technologies spread: We estimate that
executives today receive an average of 30,000 external communications every
year. And the more senior an executive, the more time subordinates must spend
filtering, organizing, and coping with all those messages and conversations.
