Anti-social Mobiles
Print This Post
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 really highlights the technological gulf that exists between the developed countries and the developing countries.
But many people think that mobile phones are actually more irritating than they are useful. Have you used a bus or a train lately?
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 I see and hear the same people making the same calls with the same pointless message every day. What did they do before they had a mobile phone?
I’m also forced to listen to the inane conversations of teenagers that make no sense whatsoever. More often than not they are criticising their boyfriends, talking about what they’ve seen on television or describing some aspect of their boring, empty lives. In one recent conversation a young lady loudly shared the details of a recent sexual experience with a detailed account of what took place. Everyone in the carriage was squirming in their seats with embarrassment as she proceeded to describe her experience, blow by blow.
Inconsiderately forcing people to listen to one side of your mobile phone conversation is one way in which modern mobile phone use is anti-social. 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 be reminded of how lucky we are to even own mobile phones. People who use their mobile phones to describe their sex lives should be banned from owning them.

If you have a mobile phone you will definitely want some affordable mobile phone insurance. Similarly, if you have a laptop computer it would be wise to spend a little on some laptop insurance. You can protect all of your valuable gadgets and gizmos including cameras, iPhones and games consoles with some very affordable gadget insurance.
