Death by blackberry

These day's many people have found their jobs include e-mail, text, and correspondence with people they will never see in person. It has become so impersonal that Shirley Sherrod of the U.S. Dept of Agriculture received a call while driving telling her to pull over and render her resignation via e-mail immediately. This occurred with with no face to face meeting. Can you imagine receiving a text message informing you will lose your job and it causes you such distress that you commit suicide. When the police arrive they find your cell phone and realize the text was sent to your number by mistake. You will have the honor of being declared the first "death by blackberry".
