Do you use high-tech gadgets? I don’t either but I can’t tell whether blackberry shall be called as high-tech gadget. But if it is, this high-tech gadget is causing irrational and damaging behavior among owners who can’t say no to this gadget. I use this addictive gadget and I can very well tell you why you should stay away from this gadget. Users of this gadget have become so addicted that they obsessively check their emails, like hiding in the toilet to read them, and putting them under their pillow in bed so they can answer them during the night. I do both of them but need not to hide as such as of now. But cent percent it’s true that this gadget is becoming so addictive for it’s users that it’s time to count it’s drawbacks rather than it’s benefits.These are some of the Drawbacks of being Blackberry Addict:

• The users are suffering withdrawal symptoms more linked to drugs and alcohol when forced to disconnect from the gadget.
• This incessant exchange of information has become bombardment of information
• People are becoming increasingly agitated about the distraction it causes to home lives
• The people around you feel alienated when you answer your emails during lunch
• Addiction for BlackBerry particularly affect those working for multinational corporations with colleagues operating on different time zones across the world, and it takes an awful lot of discipline to effectively manage the device
• I’m concerned with what this is doing to the promotion of leadership around the world because leaders are not doing the job of coaching staff. If you can always be contacted, you’re not encouraging your staff to make decisions in your absence
• If you immediately answer your emails and phone calls any time of the day, you’re encouraging that kind of behaviour. You’re setting yourself up

I think it provides employees with a lot of flexibility to stay in touch. However, you need the discipline to turn them off. Or you will become the victim of blackberry like I am.
