] Some people who are persistently wired say it is not
] uncommon for them to be sitting in a meeting and using a
] hand-held device to exchange instant messages
] surreptitiously -- with someone in the same meeting.
] Others may be sitting at a desk and engaging in
] conversation on two phones, one at each ear. At social
] events, or in the grandstand at their children's soccer
] games, they read news feeds on mobile devices instead of
] chatting with actual human beings.
