Mobility vs. Privacy

Had the chance to talk to a few KPMG partners over high tea today, and the topic turned to blackberries. Apparently, most of them were happy with working & clearing their emails while on vacation. This allowed them the freedom not to have to go back to the office on Sunday to clear their 300+ emails. Surprisingly, none minded having their vacation interrupted by work. Such people apparently place a very high value on mobility. However, two concerns popped up. firstly there was the issue of email addiction. Some would reply to emails even in the middle of a meeting. Second was the issue of poor decisions being made due to the lack of time spent on deliberating on important issues. Which brings the question: Do we really want to be able to do everything on the go?
