Maybe Their Lives Are Just More Interesting Than Ours
-
This article examines, with the help of a survey, why everyone -- and it IS everyone -- looks at other people's phone screens over their shoulders, usually surreptitiously. You can't help it. You just do. Mostly, it's not malicious, just "casual and opportunistic." The survey said people mostly just see text -- IMs, Facebook, email, and news, in that order -- then pictures, games, and passwords (though that's why you see dots or asterisks when you input your passwords). Why? Curiosity and boredom. So... do you look? Do you care when someone else does it to you? (New York Times)
