Heh, technology is both a curse (in the office) and a blessing (outside it).
It cuts down a lot of waiting time (remember the good old days when you could take a breather because it would take hours or even days for the file/letter to get passed on to your boss so he wouldn't start breathing down your neck every minute?) especially when you use email; I easily receive about 150 work-related emails per day and it really annoys me when my bosses start emailing me for an update on tasks which I've already completed (but which they haven't caught on to, because they have not reached my later emails).
But in the same way, it's wonderful to be able to send emails and free virtual greeting cards to loved ones and friends, and to contact them so readily.
As for emotions, technology definitely affects both within and outside of the workplace, depending on the context of the situation (it could lead to stress, frustration, elation, worry, surprise, etc.). It's how you use it, and how you choose to react to it.
