Please tell us where you come down on this question by participating in the following (thoroughly unscientific) poll.
Your answers will inform the conversation during a live “Google Hangout” on the subject — which can be seen live on Wednesday, August 15, at 12:30 E.T. — and will also help us shape TIME’s future coverage on the role of technology in the workplace.
