Technology and the Endless Work Week?

Listen Tuesday, Jun. 17, 2008 at 12:26 p.m. in Economy, Science, Tech Tuesday, Technology

The line between "work" and "home" is getting blurrier -- thanks to high-speed Internet, iPhones and BlackBerries. The advantages are obvious: keeping you connected to the rest of the world and your e-mail account. But some say interconnectivity has become a tool of exploitation, as we're expected to do work at all times of day. Tech Tuesday explores how "smart phones" are blurring the line between working on and off the clock.
