Hmm, first my dad calls me out on multitasking, and then within 10 minutes of reading his link to the review of Hamlet's BlackBerry I see a tweet to this older article in the NYT: Hooked on Gadgets, and Paying a Mental Price. I'm sure my wife and kids would easily identify with the family in the NYT article :-/ Maybe I'll try a Sunday moratorium to see if/how family life changes.
In the meantime, I'm now torn as to whether I should buy and download an ebook version of Hamlet's BlackBerry, wait for my public library's copy to come in, or just read the scholarly paper upon which the book is based.
