Do you Practice Proper Mobile Phone Etiquette?

Here in the west nearly everyone now has a mobile phone. But we all need to remember that around 50% of the worlds population have never received or made a telephone call.

This highlights how lucky we are to have access to affordable telecommunications and the technological gap that exists between the developed countries and those in the developing world.

But there are plenty of people who believe that mobile phones are actually more of a scourge and not very useful. Have you recently used any form of public transport?

On my routine journeys to and from London on the train I am forced to listen to various telephone conversations that would never have taken place if it wasn’t for mobile phones. On my way home on the train from London each evening I’m forced to listen to people calling their partners simply to tell them that they are on the train. And every day I have to listen to the same people making the same pointless calls, just because they can. What did they do before they had a mobile phone?

I’m also often forced to listen to the conversations of teenagers who appear to speak a different language. Their conversations seem to be focused on their boring lives, the television programmes they’ve been watching or criticising their boyfriends. In one recent conversation a young lady loudly shared the details of a recent sexual experience with a detailed account of what took place. As she proceeded to describe her experience in far too much detail everyone in the compartment was squirming with embarassment.

Forcing other people to listen to one side of your telephone conversation is just one aspect of modern mobile phone use that is incredibly annoying. Another is people’s choice of annoyingly irritating ring tones and yet another is playing music loudly without consideration for others.

We all need to remember how lucky we are to even have mobile phones. They need to be used considerately and ideally they should never be provided to people who use them to loudly describe their sex lives.
