BlackBerry

Why is The BlackBerry so successful?

    The device is very popular with executives because they can access their emails outside the office.

    It is a mobile phone with Internet access, and was introduced in 1997.

    It uses ‘push technology’. This means that e-mails automatically appear on the screen, and you do not need to download them.

    But there is a possible problem with using The BlackBerry. It can be addictive.

    When an executive never turns his BlackBerry off and keeps checking it for emails, he is addicted to it.
