MIT researchers use sophisticated sensors to study the social life of the workplace.

Jon Gordon talks with a student in the human dynamics lab at MIT, who has designed a special badge that records the minutiae of people's days at work.

He seeks to answer the question: when people are -- and aren't -- working, who do they interact with? He says it's a way to quantify who's important socially in an organization.
