How the Smartphone Killed the 3-Day Wk end

How the Smartphone Killed the 3-Day Wk end

excerpt:
It's easy to blame the economy. Workers competing for too few jobs feel like they can't say no to their boss, even if it's a trivial request during a long weekend. It's equally easy to blame gadgets, particularly smartphones, which have virtually tethered employees to their desks. It took labor unions 100 years to fight for nights and weekends off, some say, while smartphones took them away in about three years.

This is all too true. This is why I refuse to get a cell phone. Besides, my PC sucks up too much of my life as it is.
