A new study has linked cell phones and other types of always-on communicatioin to increased family tension. All those, "Can you pick up some more of...?" calls must be adding up.
From the study, via Reuters:
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.
The study also noted that men seem to take work home with mobile phones while women go both ways: take home to work and take work home.
