I’m not the only one who would admit to feeling completely naked with out it. I’ve talked to many folks who share the same stories as I, about the stupid things that we do read new messages on our Blackberry. My favourite is “I only read the messages at red lights”.
With the influx of new message availability from email, SMS, telephone, chats and third party apps like the cool little Facebook application that I downloaded for my Blackberry, the temptation is becoming more and more irrestible.
Yes of course, I resist as much as I can. But, if I’m waiting for a message that I am really anxious about, I’ll go to just about any lengths to keep posted, even reading it while driving. I know it’s stupid and I know I am not alone.
I’ve given it alot of thought and I cannot yet put my finger on why this stupid little device and it’s–mostly insignificant messages–are so completely riveting. Why is it that I’ll do just about anything to keep informed? I’ll let you know when I figure it out, God knows it won’t come in the form of a message on my Blackberry unless there’s a third party app called Self-Discovery for Dummies.
I’m curious as to what others have to say about it so, I am posting a poll, please take a minute and complete it:
