BlackBerry Orphans

Technological interruptions are no longer limited to cellphones ringing at the matinee.

Today, parents with BlackBerrys, hand-held email devices, show up at school concerts, soccer games, yoga, even the dinner table -- and their kids have had enough.

Katherine Rosman talks about her Wall Street Journal piece, "BlackBerry Orphans."

Guests:

Katherine Rosman, Author of Wall Street Journal article "Blackberry Orphans"

Elizabeth Pecore, Mother of "blackberry orphans"
