Madness of the Mobile Phone
I will never get used to it and I will never accept that it is necessary.... stop and look around you at the rail station or in town. People are hanging off the end of mobile phones as if their lives depended on them. Others are using them in cars when driving as if their lives (and everyone elses) were unimportant.
Have you been in a public toilet and heard someone having a deep and meaningful conversation to himself in one of the cubicles? You know you can get on the Internet on your Mobile phone when traveling on the train from work - Why would you not wait until you get home for goodness sake!!!!
I have been walking along the street and actually answered a blokes' question thinking it was aimed at me until I noticed the big 'comma' hanging on his ear. It looks so really pathetic when you see groups of people huddled outside a meeting room during the break making those urgent calls that could not wait until a more appropriate time. Then there are the walkers - they dander up and down jabbering away oblivious to anyone else around listening to their every word. People actually call or text each other in the same house. Now you can be sacked by text message and in Australia it is a great tool with the new Industrial Relations Laws!!!
Then there's texting, taking pictures, (when you should not) and of course you really need it don't you. The world would end without it. Nothing like a crazy ringtone when the Minister is reaching the pointy end of his Sermon or when that executive meeting is beginning to run into extra time.
I probably would not be able to understand the programming of the horrible things and it would be yet another Pin number(in addition to the phone number) that I would have to store in the old brain box.
Anyway they say it is the way it is but for me it is madness and doesn't have to be.
