Did you know that we have made the mobile phone a gadget that we cannot live without but one that means no matter where we are we can be contacted, no matter what the time is. Is being available at any time the price we must pay for technological advancements? It has become so much part or our lives that callers become annoyed when you don’t answer them, irrespective of the day or hour. They are supposed to be a convenience but have become a burden to many who do not understand this and refuse to ever switch them off, taking them wherever they go. The number of calls made that are actually life and death are quite small but it really boils down to our general impatience because we know that we can contact someone. John Lewis mobile phones and many other outlets offer such incredible deals that literally everyone should have at least one mobile phone in case that emergency crops up.

Today in this modern society we see people talking on mobile phones anywhere and everywhere. Business users must obviously be the biggest group of people to benefit of this technological breakthrough as there is very little the modern mobile phone cannot do. The biggest problem lies with those individuals who want to be available twenty four hours because they can never relax.

Unfortunately, mobile phone users can be in a world of their own when it comes to considering other peoples feelings. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere where you can be free of this almost constant intrusion. It is impolite but an indication of how society has changed since the mobile phones introduction.

It seems that many mobile phone users do not really care where they are as long as they can talk to the person calling them.

In a church for example when a service is being performed is a time when turning the phone off would be the common sense thing to do. This is because a ringing mobile phone will not just disturb you while you pray it will also disturb others.

I have lost count of the number of times at a meeting when everyone scrabbles for their phone when one of them rings with no-one knowing who it belongs too! Even worse is when they carry on and answer while the person holding the meeting has to wait for them to finish. Think about where you are and switch off the phone and you will find you are able to concentrate on what is going on around you much easier. However, if you are waiting for terribly important call, you may use the vibrate mode of your mobile phone to alert you when a call is in-coming and leave the meeting if you need to answer the call. You could also inform the possible caller that you are in a meeting and that you cannot be disturbed.

There are times when you absolutely must switch your mobile phone off, when flying for example but most people have now got the message regarding this safety issue. Over the last few years, airlines have become strict enforcers of ensuring mobile phones are not used on flights because of the interference they can cause. Airlines that have long flight times may when they see fit, relax this restriction and allow the use of mobile phones.

Just because almost everyone in the developed world has at least one mobile phone, the manufacturers are constantly thinking up new facilities to incorporate so we will upgrade and not become bored. Even though it is hard to imagine a world without the mobile phone it does not mean we should be a slave to it or become unthinking and rude because of it.
