The BlackBerry Addiction

Submitted by dell1 Sun 10/04/2009

Well I am sure all of us have heard of some strange addictions before, but this addiction is no different from any other addiction. It is called the “BlackBerry” addiction. We are not talking about being addicted to eating blackberries, but rather, being addicted using a BlackBerry. I know it sounds silly, but it is actually an addiction. This probably covers more of the features that you can get with a BlackBerry because the actual addiction is usually formed from hearing the ring tones, the text messages and the email. This addiction is actually called “Crackberry”. It gets its name from the fact that the addiction is so much like an addiction to drugs. People have even gone as far as hearing ring tones that are not there. They have even experienced vibrations that did not really happen. It is sad think of, but this has officially been labeled an addiction.
