The study, which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone or pager throughout the study period were more likely to report negative "spillover" between work and home life -- and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life. Spillover essentially means that the line between work and home begins to blur. Work life may invade home life -- when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance -- or household issues may start to take up work time." We've talked about how the power of mobility in general has blurred the line between home and work a number of times before. What I found interesting in this article, was that the study seems to indicate it's all the cellphone's fault. So, it's perfectly fine to read and reply to email 24-7. Just don't answer the phone. :lol: :wink: __________________ "I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious" - Albert Einstein Mike.Temporale.com www.MobileJaw.com
