　　Paper Review
　　Title: The Mobile Phone, Perpetual Contact and Time Pressure
　　Author: Michael Bittman, Judith E. Brown
　　The International Telecommunication Union reported 4.6 billion mobile accounts worldwide at the end of 2009, about 3.3 billion more than fixed line phones. As mobile phones have overtaken fixed line phones in usage, the   11   impact of the mobile phone on work–life balance has raised considerable concern. Yet the authors of this paper conclude that these fears are exaggerated. Although the pace of work and time pressures may be greater since the arrival of the mobile phone, the technology also allows for increased   12   and the “softening” of schedules, meaning that plans can be rearranged to adjust people’s personal or work lives.
　　The authors studied a sample of nearly 2,000 workers who completed questionnaires and kept diaries to determine when, how often, and in what   13   these worsed their mobile phones. The researchers also evaluated records of phone traffic and usage reports from participants’ handsets. The data revealed that rather than intruding on leisure time, the phone’s “always-on” nature allowed employees to better   14   their schedules and avoid work–life pressures. And although concerns about mobile phones often assume that they tie up people to work, the call records indicated that they are used   15   to stay in touch with family and friends.   16   calls accounted for 61 percent of all calls; only 21 percent were work related.
