Default Does your BlackBerry own YOU, or vice-versa?

Interesting article today in PCWorld: Do You Have an Unhealthy Relationship With Your Phone? - PC World

Who Owns Whom?

So do you own your smartphone or does it own you? Here are a few ways to tell:


•キ Do you take your smartphone with you wherever you go?

No. Actually I have no clue where it is now

•キ Is your smartphone the last thing you look at before you go to sleep and the first thing you look at when you wake up?

Nope. It has never and will never be in my bedroom

•キ Do you make or take business calls regularly when away from work?

No. When work is done, it's done.

•キ Do your family or friends give you exasperated looks when you pull out your smartphone constantly?

No and they have never had a reason to. They will ALWAYS be
more important than a phone.

My Curve died two months out from my upgrade date. Two of the worst months of my life.

I am addicted. If it didn't have a vibrate function I doubt I would even look at it.

Ken, I knew you'd come through for me on this one. Heck, I probably could've answered those for you!

To all of the questions -- I have all the exact opposite answers as AG! :-). Perhaps this might indicate a slight imbalance in my life? LOL

Default Emphatically - YES! My Bold Owns Me....(SMH)

Who Owns Whom?

聞 Do you take your smartphone with you wherever you go?

Yes - and I feel strange if it's out of my sight for more than 10 secs.

聞 Is your smartphone the last thing you look at before you go to sleep and the first thing you look at when you wake up?

Yes - And significant other travels a lot - his parting words are: "Play with
your phone."


聞 Do you make or take business calls regularly when away from work?

Yes - and any others, too.

聞 Do your family or friends give you exasperated looks when you pull out your smartphone constantly?

Yes - but they know they are important to me in spite of my addiction.


Peace......
