Just How Connected Are You?

A press release that Nokia sent out overnight caught my eye:
More than half of working Americans – 53 percent – have been interrupted by a work-related phone call or email while in the bathroom… Twenty-four percent have allowed a call or email to interrupt them while in the throes of passion, and 23 percent while on a date. That may be because most working Americans – 59 percent – never turn off their mobile device.
Nokia claims that these numbers (collected from an online survey) are representative of US adults with a 4.4% margin of error. Of course, they have a technology pitch for tools that are supposed to help you maintain a better work-life balance, but it’s those raw numbers that fascinate me.
