NYT on BlackBerry addiction
The NYT on BlackBerry addiction:
BlackBerry users do half-joke that they have become junkies, insatiable data tokers. But because the tool is tied to productivity, defined by some as essential to modern employment, overusers don't really regard their habit as the digital equivalent of firing up a Marlboro outside work.
Perhaps they should re-examine the tie to productivity, however. The technology creates the allusion [sic] that every moment can be a productive one, said Tara Hunt, 33, a marketing director for a technology consulting company in San Francisco. When you're not participating, it's like you're suggesting that you're not keeping up, she said.
Those addicted users should read Bit Literacy and learn how to be truly productive without that addiction.
