Laptops Could Ruin Your Love Life

| posted by Lynne d Johnson

In The New York Times today, there's an interesting read about laptops and handheld devices coming into the bedroom. Some experts believe it can foster intimacy between couples, while others think that's malarkey.

Is having an electronic device in the bedroom any different from having a TV there? As long as the couple spends time together, how could it be a problem? I know that wireless connectivity and handhelds have caused some to become workaholics, but I find that I'm actually more productive in the bedroom--and you can take that any way you want to.

With all the bad things happening with laptops these days (like the VA loosing 26.5 million Vet IDs), I think I'm okay with loosing some intimacy in my personal life than the credibility of my company if I leave my laptop unattended in my car.

There is data to support that having a TV in the bedroom decreases the amount of sexual activity in a relationship. How would a PDA or laptop be any different? Answer: no difference. People have to make a judgement call. What's more important; the quality of one's personal life or one's professional life?

I thought this would be an article about how the heat from a laptop can impair a man's fertility.
