Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are... but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.
A study suggests that, by giving you access to e-mails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers find that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to e-mails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but the further two hours is spent responding to or send?ing work e-mails, or making work calls. More than 90 per cent of office workers have e-mail-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten workers admit spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work e-mails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work e-mails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking e-mails is be?tween 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first e-mails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, says, "The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and videos as well as texts and calls has made smart phones invaluable for many people. However, there are draw?backs. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become* the more is expected of us in a work capacity (容量).,,

A few months before I was born, my dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, my dad was fascinated with this new?comer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around to welcome me into the world a few months later.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. He was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.
If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future ! He took my family to the first major league ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking? but my dad didn't seem to mind.
My dad was a non-smoker and he didn't permit alcohol at home, even for cooking. But the stranger encouraged us to try them on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool. His comments were sometimes unpleasant and sometimes suggestive.
I now know that my early concepts(观念)about relationships were influ?enced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked(指责)and NEVER asked to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. Still, if you were to walk into my parents' house today, you would still find him sitting over in the corner, waiting for someone to listen to him and watch him draw his pictures. His name? We just call him "TV".
