While reading my numerous RSS feeds tonight I came across an interesting factoid that Blackberry owners make more money and Blackberry owners chained to work . According to Ars Technica:

Regardless of how users felt, though, survey results showed that those who owned a Blackberry were, in fact, more likely to work long hours than those who didn’t. 19 percent of Blackberry-owning survey respondents reportedly worked more than 50 hours a week, compared to only 11 percent of the general population. A higher percentage of Blackberry owners also felt that they didn’t have enough personal time in their lives–53 percent, compared to the 40 percent average. Finally, the average household income of Blackberry owners was nearly 50 percent higher than the national average, at about $94,000, indicating that those who own Blackberry-like devices may share some more overachieving (or is that overworking?) personality traits.

However, could it be that key personal in companies are given Blackberries? Does having a device that is always on contribute to a generalized low level of stress?
