Lavatory chats, office photo sharing and workplace chatter

摘要

According to late January survey results from integrated marketing agency 11 mark, 74% of men and 76% of women have reportedly used mobile phones in bathrooms. The "IT rnin the Toilet" study, conducted in October, found that 63% of respondents have answered a phone call, while 41 % have initiated one. Twenty percent of males also said they have engaged in work-related calls from the restroom, versus 13% of females. 'The writing is on the stall," said Nicole Bur-dette, principal of 11 mark, in a statement. 'This study confirms that the last private place is no longer private. And that the 'mo-bile-everywhere' phenomenon is flushing out a host of new opportunities for savvy communicators." Gen Y respondents registered the heaviest IT toilet usage at 91 %, but Gen Xers and baby boomers are not far behind, at 80% and 65%, respectively.
