Are You Phone-y Baby? Rowwwrrrr
Oh behave. The UK Sun reports on a BT poll that says about half those surveyed talk naked on their cell phones (though this is not what Robert Scoble and Shel Israel meant by Naked Conversations). Women, it seems, are more likely to participate in the buff. What's more, over 80% of people multitask while chatting. Maybe Andy Abramson was right about multitasking while video calling. Women are also more likely to answer the phone if a parent is calling [via 21Talks; Sun link not provided; NSFW - site not (always) safe for work]
I guess if you consider that cell phones (and cordless phones) actually enable this sort of thing. Imagine walking around au naturel using a landline phone. Speaking of stuff going on in the background while conducting business video VoIP calls on your laptop, there was a great TV commercial clip at Very Funny Ads (companion website of the TV show World's Funniest Commercials, hosted by Saturday Night Live alumni Kevin Nealon). Seems a young man is in the middle of a video conference for work, from his apartment, and his girlfriend unwittingly gets into her lingerie and tackles him. Except that it was there yesterday and it seems gone today.
