Nowadays, people cannot get away from their work. A recent article on CNN talked about how more and more Americans cannot leave work at work anymore. Even on vacations, people are constantly checking their blackberrys instead of just relaxing. When people do not have service and cannot access their work, they’re not able to just sit back and enjoy themselves. 49% of people say that technology has made it too hard for them to leave their work behind when they get home and it is affecting their personal lives.
However, some people think it is just high earners that are having difficult times because their work is ‘more important’. I think technology is very interesting and beneficial, however I do not like it to the point where I cannot function without it. I myself have experienced the phantom ringing numerous times and it bothers me that I am so connected with my cell phone. While technology has so many benefits, I think some people take it way too far.
