Hang Up and Drive Moron!
“Cell phones tied to family tension”screams the headline at CNN.com Technology.
The problem the University of Wisconsin study featured in the article says is “spillover”.
“Spillover”, says the article, “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.
In the latter scenario, a child may call mom at work, not to say that he aced his English test but that the "microwave exploded," explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study.”
Oh please. Shut the damn thing off if you don’t wanna hear this stuff. Or screen your calls and texts better. Phones aren’t surgically attached to your body, unless you’re a borg or something, eh. Hang up the phone and live your life.
