Cellphones...cellphones..cellphones. What have they done to us? After reading this article, it is quite astonishing how society has changed. Manners play a huge part everywhere. When people sneeze, burp, or flatuate, people say "excuse me." When people use cellphones, they do not tend to care about anything else besides the conversation that they are having with the person on the phone. Also, I agree that there is a time to use a cellphone like for emergencies, but not in important situations. Like me for instance, I would use cellphones for emergencies only. What's the point of talking to your friends when you see them the next day? I think that it's pointless. Especially in schools, I see people texting in school to others while they should be doing their units, especially when we have not much school days left until we have our exams. We should be focusing on our units! Not Texting! Now, for the five rules, there is lots of rules to state, but I think that these are the top 5 coming from me:
Rule #1: Whenever people use cellphones, please don't shout. It's really annoying when you hear someone screaming at the cellphone when they should be talking in their normal voice. Plus, they would be waisting their breath and the other person on the line might not understand what they are saying.
Rule #2: Never use your cellphone in school unless it's for emergencies. Nowadays, I've seen students who would use their cellphones to waste time by texting to other friends while they should be working on their units, especially when the school year is coming to and end and exams will be following shortly. I would advise those who still use cellphones in school to stop texting, put it on vibrate incase of emergencies, and focus on their studies.
Rule #3: Please don't talk on the cellphone when you are driving. Most car accidents come from cellphones which the driver is distracted by talking, not looking. I hope in the future that there will be a cellphone ban when people are driving on the streets because it's not safe.
Rule #4: Please turn off your cellphones when they are not needed. Like at church, school, at movies, when they tell us to turn our cellphones off, they should actually turn off their cellphones so they won't cause any inconvenience. P.S: Why would you keep your cellphone on at church, when you should be praying to the Lord? =)
Rule#5: Don't talk on the cellphone too long while your outside or on the bus, train, etc. Nowadays, there has been theft occuring to those who carry those fancy electronics, like Blackberrys, iPods, Cellphones, etc. This world is not safe anymore because there are lots of bad people who want to get their hands on things that they cannot afford or have.
In my opinion, these rules should be applied to everyone. I suggest that they should follow these tips on cellphones because they do really help. Especially rule #2 =) Anyhoo, this is my blog. Comment Please =)
