Keep Your Conversation to Yourself
Here in the west nearly everyone now has a mobile phone. But it should be remembered that around half of the world’s population have never made or received 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?
I routinely travel by train to and from London and I’m forced to listen to various telephone conversations that, before the mobile phone revolution, would have never taken place. 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 evening I have to listen to the same people making the same calls with the same useless message. 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 conversation that a young lady chose to share with the occupants of a packed commuter train she cheerfully derided a young man’s sexual prowess with grizzly attention to detail. As she proceeded to describe exactly what had taken place everyone in the train compartment was cringing with embarassment.
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.
Everyone needs to be reminded of how lucky they are to own a mobile phone. People who use their mobile phones to describe their sex lives should be banned from owning them.
