While the point of a vacation may be to “get away from it all,” a surprising number of travelers bring gadgets and technology with them in order to stay connected with their jobs during their leisure trips.
In a survey by Fierce Inc. (www.fierceinc.com), 41% of professional workers said they check in with the office at least every other day while on vacation; 6% report doing so several times daily. Only 26% said they “pull the plug” on office contact while vacationing.
The Harris Poll found that 81% of adults took technology devices with them on their summer vacation, and 46% did some work on their vacation, as follows:
