Phone Sex

"About one in seven Americans would stop in the middle of sex to answer their cell phones, a new survey finds." Link

Heck, and we get annoyed when someone is talking on their cellphone while sitting at the bar or some other place where phones traditionally aren't found. We also find it annoying that so many people want to have the cellphones on and with them at all times (including at Good Friday services this year). But to have it on and answer it during sex? That type of phone addiction surpasses anything we could have imagined.

We'd love to hear Marshall McLuhan discuss this. He wrote about the intensity of the phone, saying in essence, "It's nearly impossible to resist picking up a ringing phone." Why someone would unnecessarily carry about that type of interruptive device all day is beyond us.
