Are Blackberry Owners Chained To Work?

In an online survey sample of 1,600 “nationally representative” Americans between June and September of last year, Digital Life America asked respondents whether devices like the BlackBerry “chain you to work more than they liberate you.” The results were split exactly three ways: a third agreed, a third remained neutral, and a third disagreed. Among just those who own a BlackBerry-like device, the results were also almost equally divided, with 34 percent agreeing and 37 percent disagreeing.

This is not too hard to believe, really. I have a few friends who use Blackberrys and I can tell that it forces them to work “overtime”. Not simply in a manner of staying at the office, but most people take them home where they can be pinged by the boss at any time.
