Behold today’s wired/mobile generation. Not only do we take our notebook computers and other gadgets to bed with us:

Dr. Enoch Choi, 36, and his wife, Tania, 33, who have been married 10 years, both take laptops to bed to write their blogs. “I suppose I started the trend,” said Dr. Choi, a physician in Palo Alto, Calif. “But now my wife is just as much the nighty-night PowerBook key-banger, blogging away for her friends.”

Ms. Choi, a computer interface designer, said she used to be offended by gadgets in the bedroom. “I don’t even have a TV in the room,” she said. But now, “it’s one of those weird modalities of intimacy I’m just going to have to reconcile myself to.”

But we also pay more attention to them than to our bedmates:

People are becoming increasingly dependent on their cellphones. According to Dan Schulman, CEO of cell operator Virgin Mobile, one in five will interrupt sex to answer their phone.

Talk about “weird modalities of intimacy”…
