Mobile is becoming the connection point for our personal and professional lives. Many start the day – even before getting out of bed – by checking out their favorite social media app and likewise, end the day by looking at their calendar to see what to plan for tomorrow. Some even use their mobile device as their alarm clock (this author proudly points the finger at himself regarding this one).

A mobile addiction? Maybe. The new reality. Definitely.
