A new survey has found that today's up and coming graduates feel technology such as instant messaging and webcams are key to increasing their productivity.

Cited on Commsbusiness.co.uk, the study finds that of the 1,000 new graduates interviewed, 82 per cent believed a handset would help them communicate better and perform office functions more effectively.

In contrast, only 20 per cent of office managers were found to agree that such technology would improve operating efficiency.

The report highlights a growing digital divide between young tech-savvy consumers and business executives.

In large companies, 58 per cent of young employees believed that improved communications - such as VoIP services for example - would improve their working environment and enable them to do a better job.

Meanwhile, VoIP News notes that one survey has predicted that the number of VoIP users worldwide will reach 135 million by 2011.

Vonage's VoIP services have attracted more than 2.6 million users worldwide and offers an effective way to make cheap calls over the internet.
