I Love My BlackBerry and all…
September 15, 2008Yes, I’ll admit it, I’m addicted to my BlackBerry.
But, no, I wouldn’t choose my lovely little piece of technology over a significant other. But 35% of BlackBerry/Smart Phone users would. Yeah this has nothing to do with politics, but wow.
“I live with it. I can’t live without it,” one New York City resident told CBS 2 HD.
Yeah … there’s a reason some call ‘em … CrackBerrys.
But are you having a love affair with yours?
“I am on my BlackBerry more than I see my boyfriend,” one woman said.The study of 6,500 traveling executives says 35 percent of them would choose their PDA over their spouse.
“That’s a tough call,” one said.
“Oh you don’t want to go there,” another added.
And apparently that attitude is being seen in the sack. Of those polled, 87 percent said they bring their devices into the bedroom.
Another 84 percent check their e-mails just before they go to sleep. Another 80 percent check them in the morning as soon as they get up.
“It can actually ruin relationships,” said Dr. Susan Bartell, a psychologist and relationship expert. Bartell said couples should be interfacing more, but with each other.
