You are very kind and I do understand where you are coming home - I really do.
But, as you say, this mobile revolution isn't going to go away and embracing the technology and putting in the personal controls to make sure our lives aren't compromised or swamped by it must be the way to go.
We do have an office in the US actually but we have always respected the private time of everyone who works with us on both sides of the pond.
And as my work is in IT too as we make the Freedom Bluetooth keyboards, I know well the pressures! We provide after sales help to people all over the world if they have connection problems. So, we can be contacted from early morning (Australia, Taiwan, Singapore etc), then Continental Europe and UK, and after lunch America wakes up and goes on through to late evening.
Sounds a nightmare! It isn't! We receive emails initially and we respond during our local working hours. Very few people are upset by this.(And those that are are probably upset by everything!
)
People understand that everyone needs a private life.
To be honest, it was trying to deal with all the crazy time zones when I was travelling, that first gave us the idea to make a keyboard to work with the Blackberry and other smartphones.
Tapping on a small keypad on the phone from a hotel room was a nightmare. Emails took for ever.
But taking control of your life in today's world and in our industry in particular is important to do. You have great principles so stand up for them. There is always a choice if you look for it! I wish you lots of luck!
