Seamless connectivity is for more than online junkies

As much as I�m not always enamored with sitting behind a computer all day, I find being off the grid annoying. Remember this email joke?

    You know you�re an online junkie when you:
    • wake up at 3:00 am to go to the bathroom and stop to check your email on the way back to bed
    • rarely communicate with your mother because she doesn�t have email
    • check your inbox. It says �no new messages,� so you check it again 

Even though this joke circulated several years ago, it still strikes a chord. The big difference now is that there�s no longer a subculture of �online junkies.� From the time we wake up in the morning to the time we go to bed, we all want to be connected � and that includes when we get behind the wheel. So to this joke I would add:

    • resent driving because it means going off the grid

At QNX, we�re working toward a seamless experience where people can enjoy the same connectivity whether they�re texting their spouse from the mall or checking traffic reports while driving down the highway. See what I mean:
