We are all pretty addicted to email, we know
If you have a device that pulls in email, like a Blackberry or a spankin new iPhone, a new study shows that you are addicted to email. And those rates have doubled since 2004.As email has become more accessible on devices many consumers are taking advantage of the fact they can check email whenever they want. AOL together with the Opinion Research Corporation who put the study together said that as devices are becoming easier to use, its becoming easier to stay connected, whether at the office, vacationing on the beach, or lying in bed. The study shows that people on average would check their email five times per day, however 59% of those people with portable devices would check the message every time a new one came in.
