Have you ever used your iPad, smartphone (iPhone, Blackberry, Droid), or laptop while taking care of your bathroom duties?
According to the business division at Staples, who conducted a survey of tablet users, 35% admitted to using their iPad or other tablet while in the bathroom, and 78% of tablet users admitted to using them while in bed. And in an even more damaging blow to their social skills, 30% of tablet users said they used them in restaurants.
A more revealing survey by YouGov revealed that 21% of male iPad users and only 12% of female iPad users use them in the bathroom, and 87% of all iPad users use them every day of the week.
Don’t get me wrong – iPads have their place. Just because you *can* take them everywhere doesn’t mean you *should*. Beds are for sleeping, restaurants are for eating, and bathrooms are for, um, well they’re off-limits to iPads anyway.
Tell me what you think: should iPads be used everywhere or should their use be limited?
