Scdo1,

This is an extremely broad question. I'm going to try and point you at
a few web sites which may assist you further in your search.

One productivity issue is usability. The "usability" of a computer or
application on the internet can affect how easily a customer (or
person browsing the internet) can browse and use a particular internet
application. Obviously, a website that makes it easy for a customer to
purchase an item will be more "usable" than one which requires many
steps for the same task. Which, do you think, is more productive?

increase productivity, among other benefits.

internet's contribution to productivity.

Another issue is time wasting by employees using the internet. The
following website gives details on a possible solution.

increase productivity.

Here's the general search I used to find these pages.

Google Search: internet + productivity + issues

I hope this helps you! Please ask if you need clarification!
