A Whole New Meaning for "CrackBerry"

Ever-increasing numbers of people in my office builidng are being offered (or is that, "forced to carry"?) BlackBerry devices. Today, I realized that the apparently inevitable addiction to these things has sunk to a new low.

On a visit to the men's room, I could hear telltale buzzing, key clicking and jog-wheel spinning noises coming from occupied stalls.

Has the Information Age actually pushed us to the point where the need-to-know trumps the need-to-go basic biological function? All the more reason why I think the threatened BlackBerry Shutdown I keep hearing about in the news may be the best. Rumor. EVER.

  1. Ha ha! I read about that, too. Companies will be scrambling if that happens. Maybe we should buy stock in SideKicks?
