Cell Phone Etiquette
Cell-phone etiquette is really just common courtesy. Most people today have a Mobile phone. In fact, many people can’t imagine how they ever got along without a portable phone. However, many people also complain about cell phone users. People complain about other people loudly discussing personal matters in public places. They complain when cell phones ring in movie theaters and concert halls. They complain about people driving too slow, and not paying attention to where they are going because they are talking on a cell phone. And they complain about people walking around talking to people who aren’t there.
These inventions have become both a boon and a bane. Boon is the technological advancement. However, the flip side is that the society has changed for bad. There is no courtesy for others and absolutely no manners with people. It is always better to keep the cell phone switched off or at least put them in silent mode. If you are in a meeting and you want to attend that important call then excuse yourself in front of the attendees and go out and keep the call short. Do not attend to any calls when you are driving. Your life is much more precious than attending to any call. The call can wait.
Before the invention of cell phones, how did we communicate? Even during that time we were faced with emergencies. How did our parents or grand parents handle it? Let us pause for a moment and consciously think of how we behave. It is better to take the call later than while driving. Not only you are affected but others are also affected by your careless driving. If we are not able to help the society at least let us ensure that we do not cause any trouble!
