You could replace any mention of "iPhone" in this list with "Blackberry" or even "smartphone".
1. The Blackberry changes your brain chemistry. For better and for worse it makes you feel good and want more (mechanism of action be damned).
2. The Blackberry gives you an excuse to step outside and fiddle with something when you feel like not working for fifteen minutes.
3. The Blackberry gives you something to do in boring interstitial situations, like waiting in line at the store, or waiting for the bathroom, or waiting in line for the bathroom at the store.
4. The Blackberry gives you something to do with your hands in awkward situations.
5. In really awkward situations the Blackberry gives you a way to check out entirely (granted, that’s a slightly different type of cigarette).
6. When you’re using your Blackberry in public, some people will think you look sophisticated. Others will think you’re annoying.
This article seems like an annoying attempt to get some attention / linkbait.
what's wrong is its a lame article. It's uninteresting, makes no sense and encourages no worthwhile discussion. It just makes this site look dumb basically. I'm encouraging everyone I can to flag it, sadly it's over that 10 votes limit for automatic killing so hopefully a mod will take note.
