Poor Tech Etiquette

Fahmida Y. Rashid, reporting for Forbes.com, says The Wired Are A Rude Bunch.

While technology, such as cell phones, e-mail and instant messaging, have in many ways made life easier, these same devices may make users lazy and oblivious to their surroundings.

A study cited in Rashid's article claimed that 52% surveyed said they would "die" if their phones and e-mails were taken away.
